I am pushing for fc core Since it just happened twice in a row, I thought I'd point out that fc core is a misnomer. Fedora is the name of the distro, and it now has two existing components: Core and Extras. Core is what Red Hat maintains; Extras is what the community maintains. Unfortunately, the Core installer still can't get packages from Extras installed, and most likely won't before FC5. >> What do we have to do to get back into core? > propose it in the fedora extras list. This wouldn't get it into Core. It would get it into Extras, which, by FC5's time-frame, would be nearly equivalent. For FC4, it means you won't be able to get it at install time, and a post-install step would be required to bring it in. Not a big deal if you're privileged enough to have a fat net pipe on your Fedora-running box. -- 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}
