Freshrpms didn't set a rawhide repo, livna seems not be updating development for a while And not having an unified extra repo might cause many desktop users to migrate elsewhere, especially for multimedia and graphic drivers. And generally multimedia management has to be improved, I bet if a newcomer might be happy in setting up his system and how long does it take to have a system properly working (for multimedia)? -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
