I was always under the impression that fc6test* was the devel stream.
If not, what are the differences? Is it just a point X in time that
the devel stream is given an ISO release?
Pretty much. We "snapshot" the development stream at a given time or
feature, "freeze" the development stream to address any bugs that prevent
installation or major userland bugs, spin isos and do some sanity testing,
feed them to the mirror system and set a time to release to the world. We
open the development stream back up while the mirrors are syncing so rawhide
is always just a little bit ahead of the test releases.
