No updates for a few days?

[Tom Horsley]

Just curious here: The last time I got any fedora 20 updates
was the morning of Sept 15. Have there really been no updates
pushed out for 4 days? Usually it seems like there is 1 or
2 little things getting updated almost every day.

(Maybe everyone is working on fedora 21 alpha?).

It is likely the folks who have to manually sign the updates got busy and
packages will end up sitting in a queue waiting for that approval or some
glitch in that process causes some delays.   It doesn't happen that often
but it isn't unheard of either.

Fedora 21 at this point is very unlikely to cause any delays in updates for
the latest current release.  For most package maintainers, it is merely
another branch and not something they are actively focused on, to the
exclusion of other releases.  When Fedora 21 gets stable however, there
will be a drop off on the number of updates to Fedora 20 partially as a
result of the update policy and also because package maintainers themselves
would upgrade to the latest release.  You can see such trends for prior
releases

There are a mess of updates waiting for me today in Fedora 20, so it
was just a case of a couple quiet days before now.

I got a huge flurry of notices from the announce list, just now, about
new packages.  So, I'd assume there's new ones available now, or will be
shortly.

If you're concerned about knowing about updates, you might want to
subscribe to that list.

You could always enable updates-testing if you're bored.  :-) :-)
