On further reading of the policies, maintainers are discouraged from big user-interface-changing updates, especially in releases older than the latest Fedora release. So... it depends. If the next major release is bugfixy enough, I'll push it everywhere, or at least to F20, but if it's more of a feature release, then I'll just push to F21 and rawhide. Note that the Fedora packages are actually ahead of the packages on the website AFAICT -- I've kept them very up-to-date with security fixes. --Andy > > If I make EPEL packages, those will get security updates and bugfixes only, > but that's not Fedora. > > There is precedent on the webpage: Gentoo. > > --Andy > >> >> David Adam >> zanc...@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
