Are there any requirements that the version of a package in say EPEL
5 needs to be less than the version in RHEL6? Since upgrades are not
supported between EL versions, I was wondering if this was a
requirement or not. Is this noted anywhere? I can't find a
particular mention, although I suspect it's implicitly inherited from
Fedora. But I wonder if an exception can be made.
Driving this is this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997946
asking for environment-modules 3.2.10 in EPEL5. For EL6 it was moved
into RHEL and is at 3.2.9c.
No, there shouldn't be any requirement. There's no upgrade path between
them, they are different products.
Perhaps we should codify that on the epel guidelines page tho.
