I agree about gftp-2.0.16 being rock solid. In addition, it fixes handling of http so that it actually works correctly. However, I do not understand the posting of a gftp update to fedora.us. This package is part of Fedora Core 1. Shouldn't this update be part of the updates flowing out of the Red Hat errata process? While Red Hat updates do not always come out to "my" schedule (I want it "now" ;), how are users to differentiate between those available through http://download.fedora.redhat.com and those from http://download.fedora.us ? This duplication does not make sense to me. While making updated packages available through some "private" repository or server is OK with me, making them available through http://download.fedora.us is confusing since it carries some "official" status. I really do not like cross-posting but will CC the devel list on this since I believe it is an important issue and is more likely to be addressed there (with the lower email volume). I really empathize with the problem of needing an updated package and not being sure just when it will come from Red Hat since their limited resources are covering lots of areas and sometimes cannot address things like gftp as soon as some of us would like (yes, I had already built 2.0.16 packages for myself). Perhaps there is some middle ground where user (non Red Hat) updated packages of packages in the Core can be placed and it would be clear that these were user updates. It was/is my understanding that fedora.us focuses on "Extras" and "Legacy" rather than quick updates of packages in Fedora Core. I would really like to hear from some Red Hat folks on this. I would like to see some means of folks outside of Red Hat providing updated packages where Red at currently does not have to resources available to do them "right now". After all, the whole idea of the Fedora Project is to leverage (utilize) resources outside of Red Hat to deliver a better product that could be done using only Red Hat resources. Some of this may "shake out" over the next few months as the whole Fedora process develops. -- Gene
