There is a testing repo, its called updates-testing (look
in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo). Discussion of that
happens at fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com as do the announcements for new
packages
However, I don't think many folk test it and QA it, and it usually gets
pushed out as an update (updates-released) within a couple of days
So, whats your issue with an update that Core had?
Can't remember it rigth now (except my AWE 64 ISA sound board won't work
with the fc2 2.6.10 kernel...), but there has been others too.
I acctually *am* on the test list and has been for ½ a year, but i more
or less thought this was a list for the test releases leading up to the
release of a stable version - and as a generally "low traffic/high clue"
version of the users list when not used for this purpose. Seems like i
was wrong.
What about informing people on this, having a system where developers
from RH (core) and non-RH (extras) can ask for Q&A? A simpler system
might also be a bettetr system IMO.
