You freeze Rawhide as you are about to release Fedora n+1, at the point you freeze, applications are roughly at the same version levels as those in Fedora n. You make some updates to Fedora n in response to bugs or security issues, but you don't want to prejudice your Fedora n+1 testing cycle, so you queue the same updates for *after* Fedora n+1 releases. Someone then runs pre-upgrade from Fedora n to Fedora n+1, at which point any package in Fedora n which is newer than the package of the same name in Fedora n+1 is not replaced - so you end up with a small number of packages from "Fedora n - Updates" in your Fedora n+1 install. I'm pretty sure I explained this better before, but I've made it generic so the same explanation will apply for a F10-11 preupgrade as an F11-12 preupgrade ;o) -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
