Sure, only 2442 RPM packages have been rebuilt out of 2442.
Um, no. These were rebuilt before Test3, and the reason why Test3 took a while because we wanted to get these built FOR test3 so that they would get TESTING.
I see, I misinterpreted the fact that all packages have a last modification date of March 6 or after, it is true that most carry the same name as in test3. Most of them have therefore been touch'ed and not rebuild, right ?
And since packages based on gcc-4.1.0 and glibc-2.4 stable were indeed rebuilt after test 3, it means that most packages on FC5 will have been built with an earlier gcc/glibc (pre-release), different from that distributed in the release.
As a consequence, if one takes an FC5 SRPM and does a 'rpmbuild -bb', the rpm may contain differences from the native RPM disributed with FC5.
Am I right on these points ?
Maybe this deserves a little note in the release notes (unless I am the only one who was confused).
Thanks.
