One thing I forgot to mention in my original reply to jwb (it was getting long) is that there's a conundrum that applies quite specifically to Mac support, and it's this: there are quite a lot of people who want to run Fedora on Macs (seemingly, at least) but very few in a position to test installs for new releases. The reason is pretty simple: very few people have a disposable Mac. About 90% of the time, the Mac people want to install Fedora on is their personal laptop. So of course they're not willing to test installing some random pre-Beta nightly snapshot and tell us if everything explodes. We also can't i) easily or ii) legally (AFAIK) install OS X into a VM on non-Apple hardware for testing. We could, I suppose, try to get a few Mac users to look into testing in VMs on their Macs. But beyond that we need people with 'burner' Macs, and there aren't very many of them. We (Fedora QA) have just one old Mac Mini. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
