...but to expand on that, that's for stable releases. So far as Rawhide is concerned, historically my understanding has been the same as Florian's, we haven't ever claimed that dependencies will be so comprehensive that you can just cherry-pick packages and be sure everything will work, you have always been expected to do a full system update each time for Rawhide. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
