Hi,
We've had this conversation at least once before, but I figured I
would bring it up again [1].
You can see in Mike's original post that there a number of reasons we
should bump to the 2.7 series in EPEL, but primarily it's because
critical bug fixes aren't ending up in the 2.6 series any longer. I
don't want to completely rehash the conversation in the old thread,
but I think that it's important for EPEL to be providing updates on a
maintained branch so I'd like to propose that both EPEL 5 & EPEL 6
packages get bumped to 2.7. This plan will largely avoid the issues
that come with the potentially tricky upgrade path for users between
2.x and 3.x.
Thoughts?
So, could you remind us again of the various interactions of the
versions? (or is there a doc on it?)
Ie, of 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, which versions clients can talk to which versions
servers?
Also, is there any changes people would need to make to their puppet
manifests between 2.6 and 2.7?
In general I'm in favor of getting it updated...
