The reason I run it is to make sure software I will need works in the next version of core - usually software that doesn't ship with core/extras. That way I can migrate to the next distro release on my main machines ASAP. In the current rawhide, I'm running mainly to try to take advantage of the new conf.d feature of fontconfig, so that I can make rpm's for commercial fonts I've purchased that take care of their own configuration files (when additional configuration is needed). Thus - playing with features that are likely to be available in next release is also a reason to run rawhide. And of course, there are bug reports - I usually don't file those until the first test release is out though, as rawhide being somewhat broken is an expectation. If it is something nasty (like a kernel panic or previously supported hardware not working), then I will file a bug report before test releases. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
