Right.
My concerns still are we need to make sure the current patches are
getting upstream to f16+ and rawhide.
I hate to see time wasted trying to track down already fixed bugs.
There are other people working on ARM support ie Ubuntu, and upgraded
versions of the software may actually fix some issues. (yes there
still will be issues.)
Given the decision has been made to forgo the F16 release.
Can we get away with taking a snapshot of the F15 base and F15 Updates
trees, and merge them and call that F15 base?
All the work that was done for F14 is really all in F16. It may not
appear in F15 base, but may appear in F15 updates. Depending on
when/if the patches were applied.
Or is this not the case?
Quoting Jonathan Masters <jcm(a)redhat.com>:
Plan was to release a good enough F15 but absolutely to do some kind
of release (just cap when we will move on to keep momentum - a
couple more weeks and we need to be focused on rawhide). It's F16 we
are wanting to skip in order to focus on rawhide by the new year.

It was my understanding from dgilmore's proposal above that we were
going to skip F-15 and just go straight to F-17. Ultimately whether we
do a final F-15 or F-17 it doesn't really matter, the current build
tool chain for them both is derived from gcc 4.6.1

Why? I thought the above process was with the idea of just using the
F-15 work that was done as a base to go straight to F-17 and forget
the rest. Clearly people need to start documenting the exact process
for all to see.
