When you say a few packages - what CentOS4 are you running ? It might be a good idea to run through a yum upgrade if you are running rc1. - K

No, the point of creating the -announce list was (or should be) that all of us want to see announcements and errata, but not all of us want to receive traffic about how to configure routing, how to make DVDs and what not. Whether or not to also post announce stuff here, doesn''t really matter, I think.

I only need to subscribe to one list. If I want only announce, I''ll get off this one and get on that one. No need to be on both. John Hinton

The new list has not been worked into our procedures yet. Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

How many email for a so, excuse me but I need to say it, stupid matter ?!? Take a look from time to time to www.centos.org or distrowatch.com :-P Think to hardly use it, deep debugging, upgrading (just compiled kde 3.4 rc1 with all composite extensions enabled on a test machine with centos 4 final :-) Don''t you ? ^_^ Cheers, Bruno William Hooper ha scritto:>I guess Johnny Hughes was outvoted? > >http://lists.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/2005-February/002662.html > > >

Lance will tell me where to send it :)It just seems wasteful to me to send announcements to this list, and the -announce list (and in some cases the -devel list). Rather, it makes more sense to send it just to the announce list. -- William Hooper

That way the users don''t have to remember to be on two lists, and the developers don''t have to remember to announce in two places. (That announce list is of course read-only except to a few of the lead developers.)

Sweedack. It''s pretty common to have a low-traffic announce list
that *only* gets really important announcements, but to also post
those announcements on a higher-traffic list as well.
The important thing is to have the important messages stand out in
some way (e.g., with a distinctive subject-line format) so that
they can be filtered if need be. (Alternatively, sending such
messages to both lists would allow end users to filter for
messages sent to the announce list and treat them differently.)
