I'm trying to understand what exactly your main concerns are: 1) The Update Details, which contain instructions for testers as well as normal users (and which, unfortunately, are overlong and duplicate due to a bug/feature in bodhi). 2) The update itself, which frightens you somehow. > This is a regular update aimed at > normal users and it instructs them to "remake their initramfs images they > boot from". Why are regular users expected to do this? They don't need to. They're instructions for anyone, who would like to learn what might be important when testing/evaluating this update. Note that even for production machines, many admins are expected to test the roll-out of _stable_ updates on special test machines, which duplicate (or are very similar to) the production environment. Making sure a rebuilt initramfs image doesn't stop a machine from booting could be an essential detail. > I thought regular updates to releases are supposed to be stable and if they > are not then why bother with having a distinct update-testing repo? Cannot parse that question. I've asked you a few brief questions, and you haven't answered them either. Have you read the testers' comments yet? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mdadm-3.1.3-0.git20100804.2.fc14 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
