I believe FC6 has just been terminated (support for Fedora ends soon
after the second successor).
Maybe I'm confused about version numbers or looking at the wrong
sites. I'm pretty new to the fedora world so I hope you'll forgive me
needing a bit of handholding.
The sources I found were at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/
where the most recent are 6 and 6.93 (which I take to be a
work-in-progress 7).
I was somewhat puzzled by the .redhat.com domain but I wasn't able to
find anywhere more recent. Did I miss the relevant documentation ? I
found this:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers
but I seem still in the dark.
Is basing on Fedora 8 a problem? It's got about a year of life
left in it.
If that's released then yes. I see from the
fedoraproject.org website
that there's some marketing swooshing for it :-).
Note to Ian
I assume that since you seem to have set reply to your own address that
you want off-list replies. You cannot reply direct to me however.
I'm not sure I follow. Evidently there is a convention here of how to
deal with mailing lists and email headers, but I'm not aware of it.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
didn't seem to help me.
I'm subscribed to the list and will read replies sent there, if that's
what you mean. And I think it's be rude to just post and expect
responders to email you rather than replying to the list. OTOH I know
most (more than half, but by no means all) people prefer to get a CC.
I'll assume from what you say above that you would prefer me not to CC
you.
Ian.
