Oh - and remember, the goal of the critpath process is to ensure we don't send out updates that break people's systems. It worked fine in this case: no glibc update which breaks systems was approved. All the ones which caused major runtime breakage got rejected. The only breakage in one which was approved was to do with compiling things - which, sure, is a pain in the ass, but it's not the kind of problem critpath was introduced to deal with in the first place. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
