One of the reason for using Fedora is quick access to the latest software -- sometimes even too quick (hence the "bleeding edge" moniker.)
But I have noticed this is not true for some things. For example, in Fedora 15 python seems frozen at python-2.7.1 even though -2.7.2 was released a long time ago and fixes a number of bugs. Another example is postgresql which remains in the 9.0.x release although 9.1.x contains a number of significant new features. Why do many packages follow the upstream faithfully yet others seem to use a boat-anchor update policy? Is there an official policy about this or is it a matter of individual packagers' choice? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
