I don't think FD 1.0 or 1.1 will be "updated". I think they're frozen. Further full releases will probably be very slow as volunteers are few and far in between. (The FD 1.1 release was mostly Bernd's efforts!) So no, you probably won't wait for a "full distro" release just to update the kernel. (FD 1.0 used 2036 + 2037 while FD 1.1 used 2040. As you can see, there were two releases in between and one since.) As long as its updated in SVN, anybody can grab a snapshot of the sources. If it's an official kernel release, it's usually put in a .ZIP on SourceForge and also mirrored to iBiblio. > How long would the process take ? Could be years! :-) No, seriously, I don't know. Maybe that means I shouldn't be answering here, but my whole point is that "anybody" can grab SVN snapshots at will (and/or mirror), if direly needed. As long as the sources and binaries match, they can be redistributed freely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
