In the past the best we could do was: 0) really try and avoid the incompatible upgrade. If it still has to happen (current version no longer supported by upstream and has major security or other bugs, etc): 1) announce loudly here and epel-announce list that you are planning an incompatible upgrade. 2) Create the new package/update and push it to epel-testing, but disable auto push on karma. 3) Leave it in testing a while (weeks? month?) 4) Announce again loudly 5) push it out. kevin
