Fedora Core Couldn't stop myself from trying the new Fedora 2-test1 release, even if it is an alpha! The 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.5 all in the same release was just to much candy to turn away from; too bad it's more sour rather than sweet at this (beta) point than I would have expected.

Bugs and yum vs apt
by Anonymous on Thu 19th Feb 2004 01:04 UTC

On some of the posts (and on the review) , people have complained about some bugs .. Have you guys ever thought about doing an update? Two days after the release of FC2t1 (when I installed it here) , I had to download about 200 updated rpms ... most of the bugs mentioned here are fixed on the very first errata packages.. if it's not fixed , fill a bug report on https://bugzilla.redhat.com . I've filled a bug there and the fix is already prepared and will be tested on the next test release (it was a anaconda related request for enhancement -- alsa-utils not being installed when sound tools were installed)..

About yum and apt: the guys behind yum and apt are working together to them together. This basically means working on a new metadata standard (already defined) and making tests. Soon , all yum repositories will be apt-compatible (and vice-versa). So , you'll be free to choose what tool to use. It's only a matter of time...
