I don't think this is a fair characterization of Fedora. In my experience Fedora has been rather solid --

One reason why Fedora is more up to date is of course it's shorter release cycle. If you want Fedora timelyness, you'd have to:
I think openSUSE is doing fine atm. There is a bit of "sloppyness" "here and there" sometimes ("still using" rpm 4.4 in openSUSE 11.1 and coreutils 7.1 in openSUSE 11.3), but OTOH, there is rpm 4.8 and gcc 4.5 in 11.3.
- shorten the release cycle OR make openSUSE a rolling-release distro (horrible from a Q&A pov but fine with me, I used to use Arch)
- push the latest packages in each release, eg relax the freeze rules and shorten the freeze
Seems relaxed enough to me. (iptables 1.4.8 went in due to Linux 2.6.34.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
