Realistically, you probably want the simple stupid plugin to allow you to set the release version if you go this route. But at the same time, I don't think that the route of switching streams often is really a case that you optimize for. The current situation makes things a bit confusing to a user who *isn't* interested in tracking development because they have out of the box the following repo choices [ X ] Fedora [ X ] Fedora Updates [ ] Fedora Updates-Testing [ ] Fedora Development not to mention source and debuginfo (which I'm tempted to just filter from the UI, although it'd be nice if I didn't have to do so based on just the repoid) Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
