Fedora 14 has branched

["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

The Fedora 14 team has created an F14 branch from Rawhide in the
development tree. You can use the following script to pull down the
initial 31,697 files. Depending upon your download speed, the first time
you run this script it may take 2-3 days to complete. I don't know the
total size yet, but it's probably ~50GB.

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will synchronize Fedora 14 updates files and folders at
# the master Fedora-Linux-Updates repository to a local directory.
