Re: Rawhide moving on to Fedora 12 content
Two mails from fedora-devel FYI:

I've made the switch tonight so that rawhide will be Fedora 12
content. This will cause a huge number of updates, if the compose
actually finishes, and will finish quite late.
For the next few days, attempts to use mirror manager for the Fedora
11 repo will fail. This is something we hope to fix at the Fedora
Activity Day next week.
Thanks for putting up with the delays as we try to get Fedora 11 out
the door!

Previous releases we've waited longer, but given that F12 is a short
release cycle, and that we delayed F11 release twice it was
important that we get rawhide moving on for the sake of F12.

They'll have access to the updates and updates-testing repo, just
not the 'fedora' repo. It is a bit of an inconvenience for users for
a few days.
Actually it's quite an "inconvenience" for us, too, because it kind of
removes the package tree we build against right now for devel/f11. J-rod
and I saved a copy of rawhide tree on the ppc and one of the x86
builders, but things might be a bit bumpy over the next few days.
