Fedora plans new approaches for dealing with stability problems and communicating of issues |
 |
The Fedora project creates a cutting-edge distribution which, as a result of its rapid adoption of new technologies, sometimes leaves users with broken software. Liam Dawe was one of several recent victims of a broken Mesa package update and the fallout resulted in some heated discussions: "The chatter on the Fedora Discourse forum around the Mesa update got a little spicy, with the maintainer who actually pushed out this particular Mesa update noting they 'don’t consider closed source steam a reliable indicator of issues, it has no debug symbols' which was pretty unhelpful. And later saying 'Not my problem anymore, I have quit as RPMFusion admin'."
Part of the concern over this Mesa update breaking functionality was that multiple people reported issues before it was pushed to Fedora's stable repositories. The reports were ignored and the update was installed on users' systems. A new proposal has been put forward to improve the distribution's stability and the communication the Fedora project has with its users when issues do arise.
