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

The upgradecheck script doesn't run automatically. The upgrade path between RHEL4 and 5 is not so important [1]. More important is the fact that packages in 4 and 5 are out-of-sync somehow and might differ in number of patches or even differ in %version. That's where the script helps.
[1] Generally, however, and more important for platforms like Fedora, upgrade path problems bear the risk of causing dependency problems (e.g. when the old dist links against other libs than the new dist).

Yes, it can be seen who pushed it. File ownership tells that. But that doesn't say who should have removed the 1.1.6 version in case there was a request to do that.

Mail the repo admins in accordance with the EPEL FAQ in the Wiki and request removal of the 1.1.6 package. (it is enough to delete the src.rpm and let repoprune kill the various binaries)

Hmmm. Is it wise to remove it? If I understood the discussion correctly then users that already have the currently newest version of python-imaging in EPEL4 installed will never get a update should there ever be released one with a EVRN lower then (none):1.1.6-3.el4.
On the other hand: we cannot increase the epoch only in EPEL4 because then the upgrade path to RHEL5 is broken (still/again).
Which of the two things is worse?

But is the newer package in EPEL4 maintained actively? In CVS it is back at 1.1.4 already. Will any bug-fix/security-fix released for RHEL4 be ported to the >1.1.6 pkg in EPEL4? If that doesn't happen, keeping the 1.1.6 brown paper-bag in the repo makes no sense.
On the other hand: we cannot increase the epoch only in EPEL4 because then the upgrade path to RHEL5 is broken (still/again).

The third thing. ;) Replacing a pkg from RHEL ;-P and an attitude like "damage is done, we can't revert it". Next time it happens with a different package, you won't revert it either?

ok. sent mail to EPEL signers group. :)
Hmmm. Is it wise to remove it? If I understood the discussion correctly then users that already have the currently newest version of python-imaging in EPEL4 installed will never get a update should there ever be released one with a EVRN lower then (none):1.1.6-3.el4.
But is the newer package in EPEL4 maintained actively? In CVS it is back at 1.1.4 already. Will any bug-fix/security-fix released for RHEL4 be ported to the >1.1.6 pkg in EPEL4? If that doesn't happen, keeping the 1.1.6 brown paper-bag in the repo makes no sense.
Sure, it would need to be discussed which spec file we'd continue to maintain.
On the other hand: we cannot increase the epoch only in EPEL4 because then the upgrade path to RHEL5 is broken (still/again). Which of the two things is worse?
The third thing. ;) Replacing a pkg from RHEL ;-P
That would only happen on update afaics.
and an attitude like "damage is done, we can't revert it". Next time it happens with a different package, you won't revert it either?
I didn't suggest that. I actually think removing is best as well. But doing such things should not be the decision of those that have access to the repo alone, thus I asked for options here on the list.

Only because RHEL4 does not include python-imaging at all. Still, even for fresh install upgrades from EL4 -> EL5 this package would be downgraded. Anything fixed in 1.1.6 might reappear due to this downgrade. The python-imaging ChangeLog is not short.
The least to expect would be to include RHEL5's package _as is_ in EPEL4 and not downgrade it to 1.1.4 and not upgrade it to 1.1.6 either.

FYI: python-imaging-1.1.6-3.el4 was removed with the push that happened earlier today.

Any idea where the script is pulling this EL4 package in? The one I built (and the only one I see in the EPEL repo) is 0:1.2.6-0.6.el4. The fact that there is a 'centos' in the release tag makes me wonder if this is getting pulled in from some CentOS repo...

EL4 = CentOS 4.6 EL5 = CentOS 5.1
It's included in the core/base repo of CentOS 4.6, but not RHEL 4.6. Hmmm...

P.S. It's a coincidence that you are listed as the owner for a CentOS package. The script assumes that all package owners are covered by the same owners.list DB.

Ahh, that makes sense then. I had thought EL4 was referring to RHEL-4, not CentOS-4 since the builders are using RHEL. The reason for this package being in EPEL-4 at all is due to the fact that it is in CentOS and not in RHEL (and it's needed for yum, createrepo, etc.).
Thanks, Jeff
