Then where's the Extras rawhide tree? Are we going to have Extras ISOs rolled out along with the test releases? Without this, Extras just won't get as much testing because they're not going to work with rawhide or test releases. And for people who depend on packages from Extras, this means they're less likely to run the test releases or track rawhide, which means less testing. Unless Extras is really part of the distro infrastructure, instead of a dump of packages people don't want in the core distro, the quality of the distro as a whole is going to suffer. > We have got to stop thinking of moving something to Extras as removing > it from the distro.

Extras is another part. +1 I really hope we're going to see FC4 Extras test1 CD go out on the same day as FC4test1, and even have snapshots of them a few days before to sanity-check before the actual test release. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
