I personally think that it's good to keep your upstream (like your enemies) close -- but I agree that it's not strictly necessary for every release. I do think it's important to have a well-defined relationship with our upstream, though, and since 6-month schedules were being proposed it makes sense to think about how that lines up with Fedora's 6-month schedules. Perhaps you'd like my second, 4-month, proposal better, which gives us a "day off" from following fedora once in a while. Or, returning to the 6-month proposal, if the November schedule ends up squeezing us too much because of the holidays, propose that we follow every *other* Fedora release, skipping the Fedora release that happens in November. I personally don't have a strong opinion which of these we do (although I suspect Dennis does, since the burden of keeping us in sync with upstream seems to be falling mostly on him), but I do strongly feel that we should have a well-defined and consistent relationship with Fedora's schedule, whatever that turns out to mean. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
