[Server-devel] Fedora 24 released / Fedora 22 "end-of-life" July 19 2016

Thu Jun 23 12:35:01 EDT 2016

Peter,

What can you tell me about rpi3 bluetooth support in the F-24 images that
will be coming out soon?

By necessity, I've been playing with raspian, because there's been a lot of
hype/hope for opportunistic device to device file sharing with rpi3.
