I know that the "latest" kde code reaches this spin not that fast but the main reason for using the nightly composes is the ati/xserver stack. The maintainers have done a great job in improving this video driver but it's still away from its win**** counter part. The only way to test this and/or apply the latest mesa patches is to have the latest rawhide code. The versions that go with the serial distributions are outdated. Here's a suggestion: I know that those builds are based on the build tags e.g. dist-f14 etc. Sometimes some builds are made without being tagged and therefore cannot be caught by the build script. (the kernel package in particular). Is it possible to have a "rawhide" spin e.g. a spin that has the "very latest" packages build in rawhide _not_ based on tags? This will mean that if a package is in koji the script will take it without looking if it is tagged as update-testing or dist-XX. This is what I mean with the "very latest" packages. That will be a reall rawhide spin. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
