Along similar lines to my other response, I see the point you are making,
however, for the packages listed, do you see any reason why they will *not*
eventually (whenever somebody finds time) be sent to fedora-devel?
Specifically:
bash-2.05b-33 bash-2.05b-34
binutils-2.14.90.0.6-3 binutils-2.14.90.0.6-4
gnupg-1.2.3-1 gnupg-1.2.3-2
mktemp-1.5-6 mktemp-1.5.1-1
nss_ldap-207-3 nss_ldap-207-6
postfix-2.0.11-5 postfix-2.0.16-1
sed-4.0.8-1 sed-4.0.8-2
For bash, binutils, gnupg, nss_ldap, and sed, only the package number has
changed. Are you suggesting that the newer package has any possibility of
*not* making it into FC2?
For mktemp, and postfix, the updates directory has *newer* versions of the
software. Are you suggesting that the newer versions have any possibility
of *not* making it into FC2?
I fully understand and support the claim that a more recently built version
of sed-4.0.8 should not make it directly to fedora-devel, if fedora-devel is
currently hosting a less recently built version of sed-4.1. None of the
packages I listed, though, fall into this category. Each of the packages I
listed have *newer* versions or packages, under FC1-updates. In 'sort' order,
FC1 > FC2, for these packages.
Again, I don't expect reliability or security fixes. I just *want to test
against the latest (greatest or otherwise)*... :-)
Right now that means making sure I have the latest fedora-devel, and then
making sure I have the latest fedora-yarrow-updates. (Where latest means
latest version/package number, not latest build)
Cheers,
mark
