Whassup all? Using F15 Rawhide?

[glennzo]

Doesn't seem that Rawhide is overly popular with the masses here. At least not if I use this sub-forum's activity as a measure. Posting here looks to be slow. Doesn't anyone play with this stuff or does it stink so bad right now that it's not worth bothering with?

i have been only using the LiveDvD image, but not all the features are in rawhide yet ( i dont think ) so in some ways i dont think its worth testing it till all features are in it. Gnome3 isnt up to date. ( some is and some arent. ) wat till actual Alpha testing an you wil see more posts here

Tried it in a VM but NO GO. It appears to load OK but after reboot NOTHING! The VM claims there is NO boot disk!

So I'll have to wait a bit longer and try again.

@ detox. I agree. Seems to work OK but it's butt ugly. Several boot errors and some yum dependencies that need to be worked around too. Guess that's to be expected.

i think you'll find Rawhide will be more or less usable when its in the official Alpha testing when most parts should be in it.

Im about to install fedora 14 and update to rawhide on a test pc just to see gnome 3.

and now after reading some posts it seems doing this is a very bad idea. Instead I should just install a rawhide spin. Which I will do now......

might aswell just download ther last LiveDvD image an look at that. there is no point in using rawhide yet till all features are in.

its why i havent really bothered installing it yet an trashing windows7

KClaisse, I concur 100% with others as well as detox comments on GNOME3. I think GNOME3 has potential but right now is listed at 65% at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome3 I have been using the content at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/15/FeatureList to build the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_talking_points
==========================================
I am trying to build the F15 set, but I may have to rebuild my systems with the ALPHA, BETA and corresponding RC...Final system sets.
==========================================
Hope this helps.

I use Rawhide on a daily basis mostly just to try and contribute by submitting bugs and to use the latest Nouveau Gallium3D releases. I usually just post directly to Bugzilla, unless its something I really don't understand. I agree this forum and the fedora-test-list is pretty quiet and some of my bug reports don't get a response.

I use rawhide on all my machines except for my main server. I run into the occasional bug but never any thing terminal. I am a sysadmin by trade though and do it to keep up on my skills. You don't learn any thing if nothing ever breaks. But ya, there have been a lot of crickets chirping around here the last year.

up and running rawhide on my test computer. quite pleasant ride so far, installed a daily build a week ago.

I always thought in rawhide all hell breaks loose..

if you go an have a look at the feature list an look how many features are actually in it now? there wont be many so your probably gonna have to end up reinstalling from scratch anyway. IMO your only really testing Gnome3 an KDE4.6 and maybe a few new features that were pushed into rawhide

Perhaps I am incorrect on this but the latest daily build does not seem to have been updated since December 31 as per the link below:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt...poses/desktop/

I went to look at the 'logs' link and it said all builds after Dec 31 "failed":

Gnome 3 is there, but I am not able to find out where to get the latest daily build.
