I just found what I think is a corroboration.
On one of my current machines, root's mail for December 5
reports, among much else, an update of eye of gnome *to* eog -
2.20.2-1.fc8.i386
But my .iso has eog - 3.20.2-1.fc8.i386 (note *3* not *2*)
already -- so the version of F8 it was made from has to be later (doubly
later) than what was in the original release.
Right?
