During our weekly EPEL discussion of bugs, some conversation started around EL4. We realize there is still a significant EL4 population out in the wild, but at the same time many of the open bugs are not fixable, or not easily fixable given the versions of software available.
I wondered if we should attempt to mirror what Red Hat does with its support for the enterprise product line. The following link describes how Red Hat handles support through the release cycle (7 years of support) for a version of RHEL. While EPEL may not want to mirror exactly date-for-date, this might be a good baseline to look at when considering how to handle bugs on older version of EL and EPEL. I'd like to have much more discussion on this topic from package maintainers, bug fixers, and from EPEL users. If you'd like to chime in, please do. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ stahnma _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
