I don't remember what our final answer was on this one is, actually. I know we've got paid support customers using RHEL 4, and I think in essentially all cases we've convinced them to upgrade ruby rather than stick with 1.8.1. In the end, I think Red Hat's version of 1.8.1 in RHEL 4 will always work, but when it doesn't, we can't really do much about it. I might be willing to go so far as to say Puppet officially supports 1.8.1 on RHEL, but I'm not willing to say it generally. I don't actually know if that's an official position, though, weirdly. -- I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none. -- Ben Shahn --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies -|- http://puppetlabs.com -|- +1(615)594-8199 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
