[EPEL-devel] Re: incompatibility issue for mate-desktop

Could look into Pulp, https://pulpproject.org/, which I've used in the past to freeze a copy of EPEL locally to avoid updates when I needed to keep systems frozen on specific minor releases of CentOS. Pulp allowed me to efficiently create multiple copies of the EPEL repos that I could point my

Totally agree. And quick iteration is the nut of Linux especially for personal usage. But in enterprise scenario, there's normalization. That is why LTS and subscription make sense. I am not gonna troll in ?cathedral and bazaar?. ^:^ Originally I am thinking about downloading rpm packages from

OK. Then I am thinking about brunch and merge into OS’s iso once there is package update in EPEL. Thanks. Fred Stephen John Smoogen 于2018年4月25日 周三下午11:40写道： > On 25 April 2018 at 10:31, Fred Liu wrote: > > It is understandable. But why not keep the old

It is understandable. But why not keep the old versions in the very same repo? yum is capable of matching the them with different OSes. Thanks. Fred On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 10:27 PM +0800, "Pat Riehecky" > wrote: EPEL tracks the latest RHEL

EPEL tracks the latest RHEL release.  There are a number of fixes in 7.4 and 7.5 that are really worth it. Pat On 04/25/2018 09:09 AM, Fred Liu wrote: So abandon SL7.3? Does it mean EPEL doesn’t have consistent compatibility? Thanks. Fred On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 9:57 PM +0800, "Pat

So abandon SL7.3? Does it mean EPEL doesn't have consistent compatibility? Thanks. Fred On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 9:57 PM +0800, "Pat Riehecky" > wrote: I would recommend updating to SL 7.4 Pat On 04/25/2018 08:37 AM, Fred Liu wrote: > Hi, > > I

[EPEL-devel] incompatibility issue for mate-desktop

Hi, I used to successfully install mate-desktop on SL7.3 by EPEL7. But today, when I tried again, I saw some incompatibility issues(glib2,gtk3+,etc). And I can successfully install it on OL7.5. Is normal? From my understanding, EPEL7 should work in both OSes. Any ideas? Thanks. Fred
