Fedora does follow the releases pretty close, I think. They now have version 2.0.2. You can always trigger the maintainer (who's name is in the spec file) for upgrading. > 2.

Whether it's desirable is another matter I don't think they will honour that. And I think it's a unrealistic request. As I said in an old thread (when I asked something related to version 1.0.1 (!), as included in RHEL4): on this list you're of course all free to ignore questions you don't like, but I honoustly hope we also stay all free to ask questions about older releases. -- -- Jos Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
