Given the short shelf-life of a Fedora release and the complication involved in Software Collections, I'm still not convinced that we really need this in Fedora. Can you give me a concrete case where Fedora really needs to be running two different versions of the same software, in a production environment? Given it's longer shelf life and different target audience, RHEL is a better candidate -- and the record, the company I work for uses Software Collections that way. I'm just having a hard time justifying it in my mind for Fedora. -- Jared Smith -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
