I guess that means yet another release with broken zsh when the fix would be just updating the package to upstream, as upstream developers recommend.
No, because as Matthias pointed out in the the bug release below it is not included in the default install. There's a chance that given the comments made by the development team the maintainer will re-consider upgrading to this release.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183557 http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2007/msg00471.html I mean OpenSuse and Ubuntu think zsh 4.3.x it's good enough for their release, not to mention that even Debian includes 4.3 in their *stable* release. Only the fedora maintainer sticks to 4.2 leaving everyone who is using a UTF-8 locale with a broken shell. This is just ridiculous.
No, its a technical decision not to ship an unstable release. That said, Fedora *is* supposed to be cutting edge stuff and if the only argument against version bumping is upstream's versioning system (since dismissed on their mailing list) I agree that its high time to up the game a little. :) Regards Chris -- http://www.chruz.com -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
