I remember that logic - but that doesn't really reflect what the distributions do Just backporting/cherry-picking the most essential security fixes to an old branch shouldn't be a big pain though > I believe Kostas has already pushed out patches for 3.1.7 to > Fedora/EPEL so in terms of distributed binary packages I guess we > should be fine? Debian 6 also has 3.1.x - when this was mentioned before, I thought Kostas was updating the 3.1 branch and then the Debian and Fedora packages could all be built from the same tarball Kostas, could you possibly commit what you did onto the 3.1 branch and then I'll release a tarball? However, I can't see the 3.1 branch in git... does anyone know where it went or a quick way to revive it? $ git branch -a * master release/3.3 release/3.4 remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/php-support remotes/origin/release/3.3 remotes/origin/release/3.4 > We could potentially pull the old versions from SourceForge.net so > people don't download the old versions, but they should really be > getting the latest and greatest... That's not what distributions support - keep in mind, for many people, they only need something basic, they are happy to run apt-get or yum and get the package in 30 seconds, and that convenience is more important than new features - so they are not going to dedicate 30-60 minutes to downloading a tarball and working out what to do with it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
