Fedora 8 shipped with an BIND 9.5.0a6, recently updated to 9.5.0a7. The release announcement for BIND says: BIND 9.5.0a7 is a alpha release for BIND 9.5.0. This is a technology preview of new functionality to be be released in BIND 9.5.0. New APIs are not yet frozen. Is this an appropriate release to be putting in a stable Fedora release? I've encounted a segfault in this version, which I've reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400461 I'm concerned about the policies which allow unstable software in stable Fedora releases. Is it considered acceptable/encouraged to have alpha versions of software in the stable release? Is there any policy? Thanks. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
