I talked with Stephen for a while this afternoon about the libtalloc/samba3x thing and my goal was to come up with a solution that would:
1. break the fewest people 2. require no acts of god to get something to change quickly mid-stream in rhel5 So the solution to rebuild the special version of libtalloc 1.X that samba3x requires as a temporary measure until rhel5.6 is released seems like the best one. It has the following advantage: - for people using samba3x AND having epel repos enabled - their samba3x doesn't break - it doesn't require any sort of magical powers to fix rhel for an EXTREMELY commonly used repo in the middle of a release - it means anyone who is already in the place where they have samba3x installed and the libtalloc from epel they will be seamlessly upgraded to a working version and not having things break when they DO start using samba3x and they don't have to file a bug, have it closed as a dupe and chase down the solution to nuke the newer one and issue an update - at no point in time does an EPOCH have to be involved. seriously - this should just happen - I understand it goes against various rules except it does follow the spirit of the rules which is: 1. don't break rhel 2. don't break using rhel and epel 3. don't break users who are just trying to get through their day yay for not breaking users. -sv _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
