I'm not very enthusiastic about this change. Fedora maintainers can largely ignore ELN right now, because if stuff works in rawhide, it will generally work in ELN, and someone else is taking care of ELN builds. New GCC releases almost always trigger new compile warnings or bugs in code. So by pushing GCC 11 into ELN, it feels like we're making it much more likely that ELN builds will fail, and now Fedora maintainers have to debug ELN specific problems that won't reproduce in rawhide branches :-( Now rawhide will be the latest stream, except for when it is not the latest stream :-( Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
