I *had* been maintaining it as a separate COPR repository that contains an old version of Django, but honestly no one seems to actually be using it. Realistically, I think people just prefer to deploy something important like Review Board atop RHEL or CentOS rather than Fedora, and since packaging it on Fedora is basically impossible at this time (not including deployment via Docker or similar), it just isn't worth the effort to maintain there. > Nice to see that the situation on RHEL+EPEL is better.

That being said, if you are upgrading to a new major release and do NOT do a full backup to be on the safe side, you have made a grave error in judgement. Also, as I said in the initial email: this is currently in the testing repository precisely to catch any such issues before it goes to stable and everyone running Review Board picks it up on their next yum update. So if there are bugs preventing the trivial upgrade, let's get them identified and fixed before I push this to the stable repo. -- Supercharge your Review Board with Power Pack: https://www.reviewboard.org/powerpack/ Want us to host Review Board for you?
