No. I don't expect that Red Hat will ever support a rawhide channel since the operations are just too dangerous. It's quite easy to totally shoot yourself in the foot since a simple package upgrade from rawhide could be very global - imagine if it required a new glibc, or if you pointed a 7.1 system at the rawhide channel. > Can I activate as Rawhide channel on RH9?

I don't know of a better way given Rawhide's inherent instability and frequent updates. Rawhide is supposed to be for people who know what they're doing and can live on the bleeding edge and deal with a totally screwed system. It's not yet even beta quality. If you make it too easy for people to use, we'll have to suffer the consequences as people start firing before aiming. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
