Fedora has a 2 release + 1 month lifecycle, which means any Fedora release typically has a 13-15 month lifecycle. Fedora can and does rebase when required, but not always.
EL, on the other hand, has a 7-10 year life cycle, with a 3-5 year Phase I-II "enhancement" period. EL tries to avoid rebasing at all costs, with very select reasons when it does rebase. So what you want is something that has a 2+ year "desktop-centric" rebasing lifecycle. If so, then instead of trying to interject yet a 3rd approach, why not contribute to Fedora and push consideration of the Extended Support to a 3 release + 1 month cycle? I know most people would love to be able to run with Fedora for 18+ months, instead of only 12+ months. That would solve most of the current desires for what you, among others, seek out of EL or EL rebuilds. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Gatling <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 4, 2011 11:49 AM ... But I don't want GNOME 3 or a 6 month support cycle or any mac/windows crap so I just go ahead and do things a little bit differently ... _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.repoforge.org/mailman/listinfo/users
