I've been using Fedora 7 for a few hours, and here are the impressions so far:
Good:
- yum resource usage is *WAY* down. On a fresh FC-6 install, running
yum would trash my swap file -- with F7t1, it happily churned over 200
available updates without complaining (apart from the mirrors timing
out all the time)
- rpm much more stable too. No manual __db.00* cleanup yet
- gnome-games works fine after updating (chess won't start and there
were missing icons in e.g. gtali before
- gnome-control-center *finally* made available in the main menu
- Hard drive performance seems markedly improved. Quodlibet does not
spend minutes rescanning my 80GB collection
Bad:
- gnome-control-center still missing the "system" applets. e.g.
system-config-users, system-config-services, etc. There are two "About
Me" capplets - one in Personal that uses evolution-data-server and one
in Others that's the old version
- F-spot fails: "An unhandled exception was thrown: GL at (wrapper
managed-to-native) GdkGlxContext:glXChooseVisual (intptr,int,int[])
- Official Eclipse (not Eclipse-gcj) failed when run on JDK 6 x86_64,
with a SIGSEGV from libgobject-2.0.so.0
- Every time I change GTK theme, the icon theme gets reset to Echo
(even though the icons settings still shows the last selected
settings)
Let me know which of these are known and just upstream issues, and
which ones need to be filed in Bugzilla. It's shaping up to be a
really good release!
