If you were going to backport it to F17 you'd have to either install it alongside 3.4 - in which case you would not, in practice, be 'using it', it'd just be sitting there - or recompile all (or at least some) of the GTK+ apps you run against 3.5. That's a major undertaking and would leave you with a system that was rather diverged from F17. That's why I say it would be a bad idea... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
