Hi Martin, What would it take to move the next XS Server release to either F10 or F11 as F9 will be EOL as soon as F11 comes out in a month or so (one month after F11 is out F9 will be EOL). Peter On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 11:29 AM, Martin Langhoff martin.langh...@gmail.com wrote: On the mission

Choose CentOS.  The workflow for managing development atop Centos and Fedora are essentially the same. I have no doubt about it, and I've read that going forward that is the plan for XS. The reason I originally asked the question about what we need to move it forward to F11 was so that we can
