4. Don't be so precious about getting it right all the time; a fedora

never going to be better than Fedora, and three of the eight continuing
threads in my view of the fedora users' list suggest F8 is broken, two
failures after software updates and one install failure.
I'd rather see them take a different tack. I would like to see them get
access to get updates done to Anaconda and other installer related packages
in already released versions. And then maintain kickstart samples for various
types of spins and provide good documentation on how to make them.
Yes, being able to get the updates out via normal channels would be
great! It's Fedora policy to not release updates for anaconda, and this
time anaconda does need an update released for anyone who wants to
compose installation media compatible with i586 hardware.
It seems odd to me that they don't just publish stuff openly on their web
site (with disclaimers that they feel are appropiate). They aren't really
secretive about things though. When I asked for access to things they were
very helpful.
It isn't really that odd... We shouldn't all be publishing and releasing
fixes to F8 stock anaconda and diffuse in that way... The fix is in
upstream anaconda, they just won't release it as an update. This
concerns me, but that doesn't make it any different. I'll not withhold
the fixes or built (Source-) RPMs from anyone though; they are in the
Re-Spin too (along with the sources).
Kind regards,
