Oops! Thanks for pointing this out to me. I thought I had released an RBTools 0.5.2 package for EPEL 5, but it looks like I must have forgotten to. It's now built and on the way to the EPEL 5 updates-testing repository. I retired the Review Board server from EPEL 5, but it makes sense to maintain the client. I've created the package now: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/RBTools-0.5.2-1.el5 It should get into the epel-testing repo within 48 hours. You can also download the RPM directly from the link above. Dan: I don't understand the point of the patch in your gist. It looks like a variant of an old one I had created, but it's no longer necessary. I got a better version upstreamed so that it will try to use the system copy before it resorts to ez_setup. Your patch doesn't really hurt anything, but it's unnecessary. -- Get the Review Board Power Pack at http://www.reviewboard.org/powerpack/ --- Sign up for Review Board hosting at RBCommons: https://rbcommons.com/ --- Happy user?
