I don't think this posing made it to the list! Sorry for dual postings earlier, I created them and sent them off-line and when on-line again sendmail did not immediately send it, so I sent them again when on-line. What is the default time interval for sendmail? Since I have been un-subscribed. I did not see eventual replies to my postings. Are they available in some archive?
OK, I buy your arguments regarding the kernel. The question is what is the main goal with rawhide? Is it as you said a snapshot of current development for the next release? Sometimes the distribution is very broken, and adding some aplha/beta software does not harm anything if properly announced. Who do you think dare to download the rawhide release if they are not adventurous to try buggy software! A related issue: What about adding some new software (not beta) and remove some old. New programs to add could be freeciv, LPRng, lyx, abiword, siag etc. Svante Jeremy Katz writes: > In general, I'd say that's pretty far fetched, at least the kernel part. > The goal of rawhide from what I understand is to be a snapshot of current > under development RedHat.
