Description of problem: Preupgrade allows the user to specify updating their system to Rawhide. Given that Rawhide now refers to the next development release (e.g. Fedora 14) [1] [2], should preupgrade also offer the ability to update to the current pending release (e.g. Fedora 13)? [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/No_Frozen_Rawhide_Proposal [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/No_Frozen_Rawhide_Implementation Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * preupgrade-1.1.4-1.fc12
Perhaps this issue is more appropriate for whomever maintains the http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt file. When using a local releases.txt file (see attachment), I'm able to have the pending Fedora 13 release available for preupgrade users.
Created attachment 397604 [details] releases.txt that includes Fedora 13
I believe Matt Domsch from Fedora Infrastructure may manage the releases.txt file, adding to the cc list.
I just updated releases.txt with James's version, and pushed it out. It'll hit the web servers in the next few hours.
