Just curious but what does "spinning" mean?

[Arch Willingham]

I am a Windows admin and a Linux newbie and have been using FC6 since test 2. It has been cool to watch this group and see how y'all do all the updates getting ready for the next release. I see lots of stuff coming from the Jesse Keating guy and its sounds like he is working his butt off to get out FC6.

With all that said, what is the "spin" or  "spinning" thing Jesse and some of y'all refer to when getting ready to do a release? It sounds like it has something to do with checking all the packages against their dependencies but that's just a SWAG on my part.

Note, I know that on some groups if you ask a very stupid question you get blistered. I am sure this qualifies as a stupid question and it is not important....I was just curious.



Thanks!
