Thoughts on FC and the future..
Anyone close to the development of FC would probably be the best to
answer this..
I just had a look at the FC2 release schedule and it got me thinking..
Since the release interval between releases as so short (FC1 -> FC2 =
5Months) has any thought been given to maybe putting a structure in
place that would allow initial installs to be performed by downloading
the major release ISO's and then from there simply have a rolling
upgrade meaning that as updates and upgrades happen the community can
simply use YUM or a similar app to stay current.. I know that YUM can
already perform and upgrade or update and most times it is sucessful but
if the development community had this type of functionality in mind it
would mean that the short release cycle would not be as much of a crisis
for people using Fedora.. This is how "One Base Linux" appear to do it..
Of course this assumes that RedHat would not decline such a structure
since one of their main selling points for RHEL is the 12-18month
release cycle and if this was not an issue for useres of Fedora it could
impact their sales of RHEL..
Anyway, anyone got any thoughts..
Later..
