Yeah, this is a good point, though I'm not sure how easy it is to fix. I've been leaving those updates in -testing for a while in order to try and be really sure they're OK before we push them stable - we were reserving the option of shipping F37 with earlier version of the kernel, GNOME and Firefox in case the newer versions had problems. But if the updates never make it to -testing, that does restrict the testing they get. I just noticed another consequence of this, too: they don't go into the Silverblue (and Kinoite etc.) testing builds. So if you're running one of those rpm-ostree bases, you can't really get them. I'm on kernel 6.0.6 instead of 6.0.7 for this reason, as that's the most recent kernel build that actually made it to updates-testing. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
