[I'm not opposed to 2.7 going in anymore- what bugs there are seem to be getting fixed very promptly- so this is just for information.]

For the record, because fedora/rh basically actively discourage people from using rawhide (though this is less true than it used to be), 'rawhide does $FOO' is not particularly persuasive to the QA team- the evidence suggests that most people follow RH's advice and don't use it. Mentions of breezy and hoary run about 5x the rate of mentions of rawhide in bugzilla in equivalent time frames, and have done so consistently since those were released. [In the past month, the timeframe in question here, the breezy:rawhide ratio is in fact 50:2.] This 'research' is to be taken with a grain of salt, obviously, since many people don't feel obliged to mention what distro they run when they file a bug, but that likely applies fairly equally to users of both distros. Luis (if I were in charge of rh/fedora QA, job #0 would be to increase usage of rawhide) _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
