Similarly, I try to make them available in Fedora's rawhide channel (as well as less officially as builds for current stable Fedora and RHEL/CentOS releases=B9). I don't have a good sense of how many git users that reaches, but I haven't had many (or perhaps any?) bug reports from the -rc packages. I typically wait for -rc1 to push to rawhide, just to give a little time to weed out the early issues. I'd make the Fedora QA folks mad if I pushed a git update that caused them too much grief. Thankfully, I can't recall ever having such a problem (certainly nothing that most users of git would run into). > But ultimately I think it is not a packaging/availability question, but > just that most people do not bother until there is a real release. Indeed. =B9 Those "less official" packages are: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/git-maint/git/ & https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tmz/git/ --=20 Todd
