I see no benefit to drawing a line in the sand inside extras based on quality. Its either good enough or not good enough. My understanding is there will be a 'extras testing' branch similar to 'core updates-testing' for some packages that need extra love and testing to linger if need be. If packages in extras aren't rebuilding cleanly by the time fc4 gets released or have 'major' unresolved problems.. those packages don't hit the release tree for extras as targetted against fc4. And we do this case by case IF there is a problem. So as a tester of rawhide... i encourage you to eat extras development as soon as it spins up some binaries "any day now." -jef" if core development is rawhide is extras development rawmeat?"spaleta
