Recently I have been doing some testing on the Rawhide drops. I
didn't
find any new problems to talk about so far. Just for note, I have not
tested any of the drops where the e'mail called out gating failures.
Since this is my first time working with Rawhide, I got curious about
what goes on with it through the course of a Fedora release cycle.
Welcome to the fun, and thanks for testing...
I imagine that it is continuously getting updates for bugs fixes,
but
I'm curious if non stable bug fixes are part of the Rawhide drops.
Yeah. See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master
Do the improvements and additions that do not require mass rebuild
get
added to Rawhide as they are available?
Yep. All the time. Usually hundreds of small changes a day.
Do the improvements and additions that do require mass rebuild only
get
incorporated during the scheduled mass rebuild in each release cycle?
Well, changes land when they do, and rebuilds happen when they do, so
yeah, sometimes a change will land and then only months later it gets
picked up in the mass rebuild (if it's a toolchain change). It just
depends.
Mass rebuilds are done usually to enable some compiler or the like
change...
