Yes -- it's hard to keep up. And while many Fedora package maintainers *do* try to facilitate when this happens, many of these bugs are upstream problems which are hard to fix at the Fedora level. It's best to file these with the upstream project. Of course, that's asking a lot more of users (track down upstream project, figure out their bug system, etc.), but... short of someone paying a lot more for Fedora package maintenance, it's hard to know a good solution. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
