Hope there will be no funny > stuff that you need to FC1 or its' dependencies to upgrade to FC2. The fedora page says that we're only waiting for kernel-2.6 to be released, but... Well, Fedora is as stable as redhat8&9 was, but installation is not. At least for me. Will all these bugs be fixed until FC2? If it's a community project, how can we help? Is there a cvs where we send patches? Another thing: it's a community project, right? It seems that this community is ourselves, collaborating to each other. One thing the repository maintainers (as everyone else, but they will do more) would LOVE to see is a bittorrent-enabled version of updated packages. Why, can someone ask. Well, from time to time, someone discovers a XFree security hole, or a mozilla bug, or whatever. This occurs in non-regular time, there are weeks that nothing really big occurs, but there are times when you will do a upgrade, and there's 80 megabytes of updates. This days the repository servers get full bandwidth use, which is not cheap, and other days, as network capacity is prepared to this overloads, it does nothing. Torrent-enabling the repositories will make cheaper for them to maintain this big updates, as they are downloaded in a small time window. There was discussed here in the list of people which checks for updates twice an hour :-) In fact, that's is the ideal case for torrent use. Big files, very popular, downloaded by many people more or less at the same time. This would benefit downloaders, also. As everyone's getting the updates, they'll come at full speed (okay, this occurs today most of time, but there is a cost, and it's not only yours). What do you think about it? Is there any interest of it, from fedora developers? -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group
