This is not a bug, apparently this is how they want it (tfox). The plan is that the package list moves to fedora legacy when a new release is made. Probably a bigger problem than version specific pages is that the fedora website is neglected as soon as a release is made. i.e. the current package list (as you say) is for FC2, and the schedule doesn't mention that FC3 has been released, or that FC4's schedule is under consideration. A better bug would be that there appears to be no coordination between Fedora releases and the Fedora website, and the version control for the Fedora website is lacking. I don't remember the author, but a prominent "web person" claims that no URL should ever expire, and in this case I think he is right. Example layout: fedora.redhat.com/package-list - current package list fedora.redhat.com/fc1/package-list - fc1 package list fedora.redhat.com/fc2/package-list - fc2 package list fedora.redhat.com/fc3/package-list - fc3 package list *deep breath, presses Commit* The Bug Activity page said I removed jha as QAContact. Not true. Will try to re-add. Nope - not allowed. This is a bug, because it prevents a sysadmin checking whether a particular distro contains a given package, and what version of that package it contains. Not having this is one of Fedora's weakpoints. Fedora needs a packages.debian.org equivalent. Why was this closed as not a bug? |
