Summary: Too many packages to upload! Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: murf@digium.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-package-review@redhat.com,notting@redhat.com
For sure, I have the wrong category for this, but my complaint is that perhaps the distribution flow needs some re-thinking.
It seems just plain wrong, that I download a 3.5 Gbyte dvd image, which takes several hours, and then, when I install it, I have to spend another day getting more up-to-date versions of stuff on that image.
Yesterday, after installing a new 9-Alpha download, the package updater tells me there are 701 packages to update!
Well, I propose that the images be updated weekly or monthly to help reduce the download traffic. I mean, a hundred packages might be acceptable, but 700 or 1500? That's ridiculous!

------- Additional Comments From ajax@redhat.com 2008-03-14 11:26 EST ------- It may be ridiculous, but it's not a bug.
Packagers rebuild stuff all the time. Much of it is bug fixes. Some of it isn't, but changing everyone's habits is nearly impossible.
