I think I'm going to go ahead with the patch and drop the macros.
Which you did afaics, and that is totally fine; if it really would have
bothered me I'd had chosen different words in my earlier message ;-)
I don't mean to inconvenience you, but it has little value
overall.
Agreed.
From a Fedora standpoint, the stable RC windows are far too short to
actually do anything with, given that they are typically 2-3 days and
we wouldn't submit that as an update in bodhi anyway. I would think
building them in the vanilla repo would run into similar issues, in
that by the time it was built and anyone tried it, the stable release
was imminent.
Yeah, I have thought about that myself, but I still think it makes
sense. My rough plan is to automatically kick building rc kernels, so it
shouldn't take to long from release upstream till it it's in reach of
potential users.
I really appreciate the vanilla repos, so hopefully this isn't a
huge
issue for you. I'd like to see those continue on as you find time, etc.
Thanks and don't worry, I think I have enough things automated/scripted
now, so it's not to much work to maintaining that repo. Thus I really
hope to find enough time to not get stuck again, as it happened on the
first try a few months ago…
