Has anyone actually stated why the Yum updates are not currently working? -- Steven F. LeBrun Quote of the Week: "Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it" "No, actually it isn't", said Tiffany.

I have this conundrum with the customers I handle. Do I piss them off by telling them every 48 hours (for weeks or months) "Sorry guys, I don't really have anything to tell you". Or - do I tell them (as has been done here with Fedora) "Hi there, there's nothing more to tell you right now, so I'll update you when there is news." Now, most customers actually prefer the second option. Amazingly, paying customers seem to have more sense as well, realising that silence from the last message actually means there is nothing new to tell. The tinfoil-hat contingency will of course piss petrol on any bonfire of rumours just so they can carry on wild speculation and deride the people actually working on restoring service. There's thanks for you... Here's a thought... The rumour-mongers could actually *shut up* for a change! But I guess a snowflake in Hell have a better odds than that happening. > Some users could actually might volunteer to help speed up the process. They could volunteer, but I doubt they'd be let anywhere near the servers in question. This is not the time to introduce a plethora of unknowns into the mix. /Anders -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
