hi,
By now most people would have seen or atleast have spotted the 6.3/cr/ repos are populated and updates there announced to the cr-announce list.
6.4 is a big release, lots of changes and lots of feedback about things ( also, we found in our limited testing that there are some surprises around the corners! )
Most people on the -devel list here should know about how we use the /cr/ repo and its implications - So with that in mind, please test the package payloads and provide feedback on this list. We are going to start working on the isos from today/tomorrow and start testing those right away, but in the mean time it would be great if we could get as wide as possible testing done against 6.3 + cr, and then document into the Release Notes whatever comes through.
And remember, even if the test passes - let us know what you tested and that it passes'. Its important for us to build a coverage model as well.
In this case: 2 days ago - using the tree from QA that was available at the time - I've updated 3 workstations ( 2*x86_64, 1*i386) that use KDE . No issues except for the fact that fonts in certain applications ( facebook, thunderbird ) are smaller than they used to be.
Worth noting might also be - one of them uses kmod-nvidia-310.32-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 and it behaved exactly as it should, no surprises of any kind - one of the systems was not fully updated ( missing like the last 5-6 weeks ). most notably nss, firefox and tbird were still at older versions.
