I'd rather see it continue to make sure those on the test discussion list were aware of the test updates that are being pushed out... the noise of the announcements is not drowning the list by any means, and if people aren't aware that packages are being pushed to test then less testing will occur. The sooner those on the list download the packages the better, and not everyone is doing nightly updates I'm sure. Is another list really necessary? These announcements themselves provide a great thread top email for discussing a broken update. -- Andrew Farris <lordmorgul@xxxxxxxxx> <ajfarris@xxxxxxxxx> gpg 0xC99B1DF3 at pgp.mit.edu No one now has, and no one will ever again get, the big picture. - Daniel Geer ---- ---- -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
