[Fedora-directory-users] Re: "This beta software has expired"?

[Kevin Kovach]

Thanks for the reply Richard.

Are you able to supply any details on the issue?  Is this a known problem
that was already being worked on, or is this a brand new issue?  If this has
been around for a while, do you have a timetable on a fix?

I've checked the list and have not seen anything regarding this error
message.  If there's anything I can do to help please let me know.

Thanks.

- Kevin
