This doesn't affect the functioning of anyone's existing installed system, but it clearly has implications for the wider project: if this becomes the 'official' delivery mechanism for ARM users, that'll require changes to the download pages. And while the Change page says " How To Test - N/A (not a System Wide Change)", clearly this *will* need testing, especially before we make it the primary delivery mechanism. -- 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
