No, that's not what my statement said. Let's review, and I'll try to explain it so everyone can understand. "To those saying that Red Hat should not prioritize an updated sendmail package; should they release Red Hat 8.1 with a vulnerable sendmail that was beta tested, or should they release it with a patched but untested sendmail?" First, this was a question; I wasn't making a "claim" about what I "think". The question was addressed to "those saying that Red Hat should not prioritize an updated sendmail package". I was playing devil's advocate, trying to present another point of view using sarchasm (apparently the sarchasm wasn't as obvious as I intended). The question was simple, based on this fact: Red Hat can either release an updated sendmail package for the beta, or not. If they do, the updated package can be thoroughly beta tested (interacting with the other packages) before final release. If they don't, either the vulnerable sendmail package will be in the final release, or an updated but untested sendmail package will be released. The question (of those to whom it was addressed) was which of these should Red Hat do. I really have no idea how you interpreted my post as what you replied. As I have no desire for this to turn into a flame war, this is my last post on this subject. If you still don't understand my point, so be it. Rick P.S. I think it's great that you compiled the errata into a package; it will prevent vulnerable beta machines. But installing this beta tests your package, not Red Hat's. Which is fine, if they include your package in the final release. -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
