My original email was 23/24 packages for x86. However, after reading |
20 |
your email, I compared the first 10 kde updates with ~x86 releases. It |
21 |
came out that Fedora was ahead 50 percent of the time or both distros |
22 |
shared the same release versions. In case I'm doing something |
23 |
incorrectly, you can also view the updates at |
24 |
http://fedoraproject.org/infofeed/ |
25 |
|
26 |
Of course, this new comparison is between testing releases and so-called |
27 |
stable Fedora releases. There is a Fedora extras/unstable list (Fedora |
28 |
Core 4 Testing Updates) for that, but I don't receive that one. It also |
29 |
should be noted that the updates I listed happen to be mostly for Fedora |
30 |
3, not Fedora 4. I compared some Fedora 4 releases the other day and |
31 |
shared them with this list and Fedora was ahead 90 percent of the time |
32 |
(out of about 10 recent release comparisons). |
33 |
|
34 |
Finally, after doing a ~x86 compare, I noticed that fedora-announce-list |
35 |
is slow to announce updates as most of the actual updates took place |
36 |
around the beginning of August by Redhat people. Not sure why that is. |
