I've just read on slashdot that the redhat 6.2 beta has been made
available (although I haven't check for it myself). I've asked about
this before, and now would be a good time to bring this issue up
again...
Can a CHANGES file be provided with this and every release (and
pre-releases) of a new distribution. In fact, two CHANGES files...
- one to describe the overall changes (eg, the installer, new
or replaced/deleted packages, new features, default desktop
changes, overall stuff like that).
- another one with MUCH more technical detail that is geared
towards system administrators. This would be particularly
valuable for someone like myself who is administering lots
of (redhat) linux boxes. Examples of this for 6.0->6.1
would be the new standalone identd to replace the one run
from inetd, the enhanced xdmcp capabilities of gdm, the
sparse filesystem being created by default... the sort of
information that is essential for system administrators,
home or small-business network hackers or other experienced
redhat users to know about. (Kernel changes should be part
of this too).
It can be a difficult and onerous task to rebuild lots of server and
client boxes up to a new distro version, or to try to integrate these
into existing infrastructures and configurations when some features
have changed (sometimes radically). To have some decent documentation
available about what potential problems or other hiccups to expect
would be absolutely invaluable.
Please please please!
Cheers
Tony
