the same thing just yesterday. I dont know if it would ease or trouble
the developent of the next FC but i like the idea of a distribution that
incorporates the newer "addon" packages and stabalizes the core desktop
environment (a sane technology testing platform if you will). I thought
this was the charter of FC to begin with. Is it simply too time
consuming to do this from redhats end (completely understandable if so)?
That's my understanding on where we want to go and I hope we make good
progress with this. FC1 has been very solid in my opinion. FC2 has kind
of rough corners with the big step to a 2.6 kernel and the starting point
to update many user level rpms plus really adding into a solid desktop.
Current FC3 looks nice to me, but I might be the wrong person to ask this.
(I tend to like all development trees.;-)
For your above comments: I'd wish system-config-packages plus some other
tools would be more connected and working better together. I am not
sure all that can be cleaned up within FC3 development timeframe. It's
a huge area to work on. The new repository support just going into
the Fedora development tree are again bits of this.
