The point was not that Rawhide is unstable or not, the point I was trying to make was that it might be good if developers did some testing to remove the most obvious bugs before pushing them to everybody. If it would have been glibc instead of dbus, all machines that did an update would be completely broken (including your server). Rawhides testing gets only done when ppl actually use it. > This is > why I normally leave my updates on rawhide until the following > morning... that way I can normally hear the cries of pain and know > which way to step :-) This is exactly what I mean, if everybody waits until tomorrow, the bug will still be there tomorrow because nobody tried it today! When developers touch parts of Fedora that could cripple whole systems, like dbus, glibc, gtk, etc. it might be good to do a bit more testing before pushing it to the buildsystem. If it are things like xchat, gaim etc. than it is not as bad, because those are just single application and it is expected that things break now and than in Rawhide. But in the end i was just asking how development was done :-) - Erwin -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
