EPEL is built against RHEL binaries. In the past, we have waited for CentOS to catch up before renewing the buildroots as the majority of users and developers building locally were using CentOS versus RHEL. And we also have the difficulty that when we rebuild/update against RHEL-5.x+1 that sometimes people with CentOS-5.x are broke until they get x+1 also. [And vice versa... but since thats not changing, it seemed we used to err on the larger number of downloads.] Paul L asked me what he should do with the memcached update and I told him that we normally wait before doing an update of the buildroots. However it would seem I remembered incorrectly and we update to newer roots sooner now. Since we have 5.5 buildroots, he can update and I will let him know. So if anyone is at fault here, it is me.. so please direct all fewmets my way. > -- > Chris Adams <[email protected]> > Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services > I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. > > _______________________________________________ > epel-devel-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list > -- Stephen J Smoogen.
