And that implies that I'm one of those 'Fedora bashers', too? ;-)

I don't know. Are you? ;-) Seriously now this is Linux. And fedora is
a bleeding edge distro. How many other distros have you tried. They all
break from time to time.

And most of the
bashing is about things that Fedora has no control over.


Still released updates for Fedora 7 break dependencies, e.g.:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-June/msg01776.html


The only way to actually find those before they are released would be to
run them on every conceivable computer with all the hardware ever sold.
Oh and with all different assortments of software installed. Not a
practical thing to do is it? If an update breaks your install go back
the the old package and wait for a fix. But you have to report it to
Bugzilla or no one will work on it.


Like this
'dependency problem'. I run the development branch (Rawhide) and it is
not uncommon to get 200 Megs, or more, of updates everyday. That was
everyday not every week.


Still the regular broken deps reports (the daily rawhide build report
contains a list of broken deps at the bottom, too) lists problems
every week.

Sure it does. Rawhide is supposed to be broken from time to time. It is
the development branch. And why do you thing that fedora releases 3 or 4
test ISOs before the final release? So that 'Joe User' might try it and
report a problem or just because they have nothing better to do? ;-)
