[Fwd: If you want bleeding edge...]

[David Zeuthen]

Hi,

This might be interesting if you want to stay on FC5 but wants the sweet
new graphs [1] in g-p-m. This stuff isn't even in Rawhide yet (uhm
someone needs to release PolicyKit 0.2).

Would be nice if it would hit rawhide soon though. is there a chance
on it? also will there be an upgrade path for the packages in rawhide?

Well, I kinda want to finish PolicyKit 0.2 first... There are some
issues with the CVS version Richard has packaged that may or may not
include users having more privileges than they should. So it's not
really ready for Rawhide yet... Eventually though...

I think you can install this on Rawhide, yes, and once this lands in
Rawhide the upgrade path should work. But as Richard said.. if it breaks
you get to keep both pieces :-)

Oh, this is totally thanks to Richard - I will pass this message on to
him :-)

Just a comment, feel free to ignore me, but I'm rather confused as to 
how you can announce (by proxy) something for FC-5 but not think it's 
ready for rawhide.  If it's not ready for even the most bleeding edge of 
bleeders, maybe you should have waited a bit before showing the 
commercial to FC-5 users?  Dropping it into rawhide might help with the 
bug squashing.  :-)

I presume that people using repositories named "Utopia experimental for
$basearch" know what they are doing.

Sure, but chunks of functionality is missing and it needs a security
review. 

Rawhide is not a dumping ground, at least it shouldn't be.
