[fedora-electronic-lab] Release of Gpsim 0.25.0 in what Fedora releases should it be included.

The latest release of Gpsim (0.25.0)is now out. The ANNOUNCE file is 
included below.

This 0.25.0 release is currently in rawhide which will become F-14. The 
question is of F-12, F-13, EL-5 and EL-6 what releases should I make 
this version available for. I believe that as EL-6 is not available yet 
so it should go in there.

The reason for this question is one person has requested that I not 
update releases in Fedora because of use of Gpsim by other programs. 
When I suggested that better communication between the developers was a 
better solution I got no response from this person. Although I am a 
developer of Gpsim, I do not know what the other programs are and what 
the issues are.

What do other people think?

Excellent, well done :)

Yes, only the beta was released. Whenever you build your package for
the EL-6, it will be automatically be available to the beta testers.

I know I have requested you to sync gpsim package build with that of
ktechlab. If it was someone other than me, I would say continue to
make your announcement here and tell him to subscribe to this mailing
list :)

I would be happy if you could build this gpsim release for EL-6 so
that we can spot issues with ktechlab and piklab eventually.
