Yes, completely agreed. But I'd like to avoid a deadlock where packages do not enter the repo because people fear hypothetical problems. We'll find solutions when problem comes up (just as RH sometimes has to find special solutions). And nobody pays us for the job, so I suspect most people won't yell at us when we say "okay, we had to update foo to version bar which break ABI and API because backporting the security fix was to hard" CU knurd _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
