For the short term distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu), volunteer to be a packager. In principle I could do this for Fedora; in practice I have no time or patience for the politics involved. Fedora does follow the releases pretty close, I think. They now have version 2.0.2. You can always trigger the maintainer (who's name is in the spec file) for upgrading. In Fedora 9 beta, yes. Fedora 7 8 have 1.1.7, which is nice. Maybe that other, non-Fedora distros are equally up-to-date; if so, it's not an issue. 2. For the long term distributions (e.g. RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu LTS) politely ask the distribution to either track no more than 6 months old, or if they are unable/unwilling, ask them not to include FreeRadius. It's GPLed software so of course they're free to refuse the latter; but they would probably honour it. Whether it's desirable is another matter I don't think they will honour that. And I think it's a unrealistic Shrug. I disagree on both counts, but I don't see the point in arguing with you. request. As I said in an old thread (when I asked something related to version 1.0.1 (!), as included in RHEL4): on this list you're of course all free to ignore questions you don't like, but I honoustly hope we also stay all free to ask questions about older releases. You're free to ask what you like, in that context. People might not answer, and in my opinion you'll be degrading the signal/noise ratio, but I'm not the boss of anyone - ask away. For example: on several occasions I've fired up 1.1.7 or 2.0.x and tested a suggestion before I've answered i.e. I'm actually doing a little bit of work, because the mailing list has given me so much I feel I should give back. I've even pulled source tarballs and given the source code for a module a quick look over to clarify exact behaviour before replying. I'm not going to waste time doing that for 1.0.1, and I feel pretty confident when I hazard a guess that few people will. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

However, most distros know nothing about the packages they're supporting, so the users end up here. This is a correct observation.

For all the 1000+ apps in a distro, there are mailing lists, forums, or additional commercial support. That's not what I said. When you sell something, your customers should go to *you* for support. You can afford to support them, because you're getting paid. My issues with the distros LTS is that the *distros* are often getting paid, and *we're* being asked to do support. I understand your point, but this is the way it all works. And, again, the same happens for all other apps. Still, vendors *do* a lot of work to maintain their distro, backport security fixes etc. The real issue, IMHO with LTS distros is people doing something *new* with them. LTS is fine for a box that gets built, configured, shipped, and never touched again. If someone is going to keep poking the box over time, and trying to get it to work with *new* configurations, than they have chosen LTS in error. Not necessarily.

Then they are welcome to upgrade to a version *we* support. If they're not willing to do that, they can pay support to Redhat. If they're not willing to do that, then *you* can support them.

Re: RPM Build Errors
Hi, I am attempting an rpmbuild of freeradius due to the version included in Centos (1.14)- We are experiencing issues with windows vista, and read something in an earlier post regarding such a bug that 1.17 and later will fix. the package is suffering from split personalities. it doesnt know if its 'freeradius' or 'freeradius-server'. i would advise the simple action (unless you want to trawl the SPEC) download freeradius-server-2.0.3.tar.gz extract it, move the directory to just 'freeradius-2.0.3' then tar back up into freeradius-2.0.3.tar.gz then edit the freeradius-spec file and at the near top, change the line that says Name: freeradius-server to just Name: freeradius it should then work. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

you can ignore my previous message - there are still underlying

One of the fundamental issues with enterprise-grade (and long-term-supported) Linux distros is that they want to stay as compatible as possible during its life-time. If possible, they backport security fixes, etc. Although sometimes I would also like to have a newer version of something, this *does* pay back in overall stability and API/ABI compatibility throughout the OS's life time. Otherwise you should use Fedora (the fast-moving alternative for RHEL/CentOS). And if you really do need newer packages on CentOS, take the latest Fedora source RPM and rebuild it on RHEL/CentOS. That is usually integrated in the OS environment in the same way as RHEL/CentOS (but always be careful and inspect the spec file carefully for new things). For the same reason, I'm still using a (very) old FreeRADIUS on my RHEL4-compatible systems, although I've been flamed for doing that on this list earlier ;-). -- --Jos Vos [EMAIL PROTECTED] --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

CentOS stays fully compatible with RHEL. Open a bug report on Red Hat's bugzilla for RHEL instead. whilst MOST of the FR 1.x config files are forward compatible to FR 2.x, there are some quirks and incompatibles. for this reason, FR 2.x will never be available to older releases because of the required compat. i expect the next version of RHEL to come with FR 2.x though. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Their customers should have HUGE warnings in all of the documentation, saying THIS PACKAGE IS YEARS OUT OF DATE. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Since they're often paying the distro for LTS, they can go to the distro for help. However, most distros know nothing about the packages they're supporting, so the users end up here. The only way to solve is is to forbid long-term-support type Linux distros. And due to the facts that there is a need for that distros and that we live in free (software) world, this won't happen. Sorry... That's not what I said. When you sell something, your customers should go to *you* for support. You can afford to support them, because you're getting paid. My issues with the distros LTS is that the *distros* are often getting paid, and *we're* being asked to do support. e.g. Try bringing your car into a tobacco shop for an oil change. They'll laugh at you, or think you're crazy. The real issue, IMHO with LTS distros is people doing something *new* with them. LTS is fine for a box that gets built, configured, shipped, and never touched again. If someone is going to keep poking the box over time, and trying to get it to work with *new* configurations, than they have chosen LTS in error. People running a 7-year supported OS *do* know (well, they should) that their software cann be up to 7-8 years old. Not from the messages I've seen on this list. upgrade? But I'm at the newest version my distro supports! I didn't know that there were newer versions... And (see above) the problems are usually because they're *changing* the configuration of a box that worked 3 years ago. Well, if it worked then, why the heck are you breaking it now?
