Hi;
I really wish more open source developers would think about users who
may end up needing to regress before they alter stuff that breaks
earlier versions of their app. But that's a side issue.
You also have to look at the changes that RedHat/Fedora make to their
versions of packages. I have come across these changes over the
years. Enough to create headaches.
I see this on enough mail lists to know that not all changes are for
the best.
I do agree that all setup data should be consistent trough iterations
of software. But there are times that changes are necessary. When
these times occur, make sure that there are fall back routines.
I have been fighting trouble with GPG. It is here on F8 but it
appears to make un-usuable keys. People who have used Seahorse seem to
succeed in making keys that work with the Fedora Doc. It looks like I
must re-do everything with Seahorse. A real pain.
