Was not this solved before? According to the cvs the last version available is
%changelog
- Mon Jul 23 2007 Joel Andres Granados <jgranado at redhat dot com> -
0:1.1.4-1
- Build python-imaging for EPEL4 with the version from FC3. EPEL4 are
packages
that can be installed in RHEL4**.
IIRC we had downgraded to cope with the inclusion of it in EL5. This was
done before the official launch of EPEL so I have no clue what has gone wrong.
Depends on who "we" is. You cannot downgrade a package without asking the epel-signers to delete a newer package in the repo. The repo shows that an older package was pushed several months after the higher version:

This is extremely strange. 1. This didn't come up before :) I've been checking the EPEL fairly regularly to see if python-imaging had any problems and it had never come up. Since the 1.1.4 appeared after 25-Jul, it should have screamed immediately (assuming that the 1.1.6 version was there)
2. I started co maintaining the EPEL package with jamatos around jul-2007, so the 1.1.6 version must have been there already (IMHO). Can we actually know who pushed it? Maybe it was automatically brought in :).
3. I checked my email logs and verified that the issue was discussed around Jul-2007 I cannot find earlier mails about the package ( I subscribed around Jul-2007, so apologies if I'm wrong)
Don't know what to make of it. So I assume from "You cannot downgrade a package without asking the epel-signers to delete a newer package", that the solution is to delete the newer package. right? Regards
