Yep, but then also is a bunch of other stuff due to the fact things were bumped in RHEL, sadly without forking of each el7 dot release there's not much can be done about that and the consensus (right or wrong) has been to build for RHEL and when CentOS catches up they'll be OK. You could do a whole bunch of work here to find CentOS is out before the fix hits stable, if you've got that amount of time go for it. > I'm trying right now to figure out if I build it for 1.0.1 functionality if > 1.0.2 is sufficiently backwards-compatible.

Sure, I don't know the whole problem, I was just going on the snippets of info you provided. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
