Rawhide users: fasten your seat belts
For the daring folks who follow Rawhide: life is about to get interesting
for a while. Fedora developers have announced that Rawhide will be moving
to upstart 0.60 and to RPM 4.8.0. Both postings should be considered
required reading for people with Rawhide systems.

Fedora has been using upstart for _YEARS_, its only moving to a newer version of it.

Indeed:

No one said otherwise. If you read the article, it says that the interface to upstart changed in 0.60 and could break some packages.

IIRC, the post here originally said "[...] will be moving to upstart and to RPM 4.8.0". It seems corbet already fixed it.
Upstart Posted Dec 7, 2009 22:20 UTC (Mon) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] I did add the version number to make things clearer after seeing the original comment, yes. Sorry for any confusion.

Oh, my Debian has Upstart 6.3 and I never noticed :)

I hope they will be wiser than ubuntu in the way they manage fsck at boot time.
For faster boot, ubuntu does not wait for all partitions, and starts while fsck is being done :

a seat belt is not enought in this (frequent) case.

While booting fast is important, that seems a very racy thing to do. I am
planning to upgrade from Fedora 12 to Rawhide soon and will keep an eye on this. Thanks for the heads up.

Moreover, it could be noted that Perl 5.10.1 just landed in Rawhide. Yay \o/

Is it? I don't see a perl-5.10.1 package in
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/develo...
Is there some delay before it reaches that directory?

And ironically, rawhide composes have failed since this due to broken dependencies in perl.
;)
Expect it to land in the next few days as the broken deps get fixed up.
