Let's move forward and focus on FC2. Trying to update/maintain old
releases only kills finite resources.
Agreed. However, RHEL3 needs a perl errata, so it isn't extra work.
Basically I'm planning on putting an update to 5.8.3 out for RHL3 and
FC1, letting it bake a bit, then look into getting it into RHEL3. I
don't anticipate any disruption, and putting in the new virtual
provides is basically zero-cost above the update itself.
Of course, you could release an FC1 Test Update anytime and hope for
feedback, regardless of whether the update will make it.
Yep. Coming soon. Watch this space :)
