I also agree that the general user running updates can keep up pretty well with just the pre-comiled RPMs. Unfortunately, my experience has been that, while sometimes it's less than 24 hours, there have been times when it's been quite a bit longer (several days, a week or more). And, in this particular case, the David was having trouble with both the non-presence (at the time) of the pre-compiled RPMs he needed and dealing with the problems created by installing via the NVidia provided script (the one that breaks Mesa & other stuff). I'm not sure you really want people filing Bugzilla tickets every time your team misses the intended deadline. If you do, let us know. As I mentioned, in general, I think you guys do a great job. Perhaps the solution is more timely communication and a little re-org on the Livna site to make it easier for people to find what they're looking for. I'd be happy to help with that part as I have two very strong usability consultants I work with who will give me pointers for Livna.org if I frame the question the right way (one of them is a very passionate French guy... <smile>).
