Why is the alpha version of rawtherapee in the updates repository ?????

[linux guy]

yum list rawtherapee
Available Packages  rawtherapee.i686 3.0-0.21.a1.fc13  updates

However, the rawtherapee wiki says this:

"3.0 series
This new series is now on the development cycle. Preview version 3.0
alpha 1 is available for download, but is not recommended for
end-users."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_Therapee


I tried it on my F13 installation and it barely runs.


Shouldn't the update repository have something stable in it like 2.4.1 ?

Thanks !

Please ask the package maintainer. Fedora Build System (koji) doesn't list
a single build of 2.4.1. Package review started with 3.0-0.5.a1.fc12:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/569204

It is also easy enough to open a new ticket for any issues you find. Plus,
you could have given feedback on this update while it was in
updates-testing repo: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rawtherapee

 From http://rawtherapee.com/?mitem=3
'''
The latest version marked as stable was 2.4.1 released in September 2009.
Since then RawTherapee's source code has been opened up to all
(it was closed before 2010)...
'''
Looks like 2.4.1 is non-free and unacceptable for Fedora.
