First off, as Rex mentioned, the tools to generate presto-compatible repos are very much in the "alpha" stage, though that's what my focus is on at the moment. So, in many ways, this whole thing is moot, at least for the next few weeks. Jesse, I totally understand where you're coming from on the "it should have been started in Rawhide". I'm afraid that's my fault, though I'll beg extenuating circumstances. I live and work in Beirut where broadband means anything but (thus my interest in the problem in the first place). Downloading FC6 took three days of tying up the school's internet. Downloading Rawhide will take just as long. That's why I haven't done it yet. All that to say, I will do what I can to get Rawhide ASAP. I've even got 20 GB on my laptop's HD set aside for it. Finally, when we do get to the point of "do we put deltarpms in the master mirror", *if* we decide *not* to (for the many reasons mentioned by those against the idea), is it possible for yum-presto in Extras to point to the test server in the default .conf file? I would obviously prefer to put the deltarpms directly on the master mirror, but if that's not a possibility, I would at least like to make it easy for people to install yum-presto and not worry about manually editing .conf (or .repo) files. (And yes, I do realize that this "a bad thing".) Jonathan
