Currently, we have conflated testing, release, and master (branches that many projects use) into just one public branch called master to keep our workflow simple. A public "release" branch is certainly on my agenda, but I am not sure that is possible with a rebase workflow, and we might have to wait to implement a "release" branch until we make the transition to a more sophisticated workflow. > [.... git master branch is looking] pretty good so far.

Suggestions? Leave it disabled.

I get the above warnings here as well. As far as I can recall they concern some additional OCaml bindings functionality that Hez has not completed yet. So I would not worry about these warnings at all. In sum, there appear to be no special Fedora issues at this time which makes me a happy camper. :-) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
