Fedora 10 End of LifeFedora 10 End of LifePosted Dec 18, 2009 19:51 UTC (Fri) by marduk (subscriber, #3831)In reply to: Fedora 10 End of Life by rriggs Parent article: Fedora 10 End of Life
I disagree. This way seems to be uniquely Fedora (well, maybe not "unique" but "a characteristic of"). I use other "community" distros and never really experience this, at least not as much as I've seen with Fedora.
The only exception I can think off offhand is Evolution (the upstream bugzilla) where they will sit on a bug and after one or two major version updates they won't explicitely WONTFIX the bug but say "try this on the latest and report back" and then NEEDINFO it. This is also very annoying (but at least the bug stays open).
Yeah, my particular bug is something that will probably never make it into RHEL (it's not an enterprisey thing) so it's likely that it will never make it to RHEL and thus never need to be supported. I think they know this and that is why they just sit on it.
Compare this to other community distros that don't have a commercial big brother. They're usually more responsive on bug reports.

> Evolution
For every bug fixed in Evolution, at least two new are reported, according to my completely unscientific and totally unreliable research ;-)
Seriously, there is so much proposed but unfinished functionality in there that a few folks working on it cannot keep up (not making an excuse, just an observation). Evolution is both an indispensable tool for someone with only OWA/MAPI mail access and a total and utter disaster. I reckon I spend more time every day mopping up after Evolution crashes than any other single thing I do.
Right now, I'm waiting for Evolution to fetch one of the big folders off Exchange, using MAPI. It's been doing that for the last half an hour. And before that, it did fetch that folder, but there were no subjects. So, a rinse/repeat cycle was in order. Fun... ;-)
