I haven't seen either, but I did recenly get new kernel rpms (2.4.9)
from the testing dir in ftp. Now the 3d GL apps (for example gliv still
works) all seem to not work.
Is that an XF4.1 thing (something I heard, does RH7.2 have DRI?) or is
the driver (Ati Rage Fury) broken?
Was nice seeing ext3 included, though. I need that somewhere.
And to stay remotely on-topic, I don't think daily rpms are quite needed
unless you want to roll out CVS as rpms (for XFS part) but they stayed
in 2.4.5 for ages (or were well-hidden).
