Subject: Re: [rsyslog] elasticsearch RPM for el5
Elasticsearch requires libuuid and libcurl,. Either one or both of these
libs were outdated and could not be rebuild from newer sources easily. So
I had to remove support for elasticsearch on EHEL5.
I'm almost entirely on CentOS 6.x now so don't care personally, but it's
ashame...since RHEL/CentOS 5.x is not "old" by any means, 5.10 was just
released end of last year, and it's pretty reasonable to expect larger
enterprises -- which are probably also the ones who would fund projects --
not to jump to the latest releases too quickly. (Well maybe not
reasonable, but giant tortoises move slowly in my experience... :-) )
the problem is that RHEL 5.10 doens't contain 2013 software, it contains 2006
software with some backported security fixes and a small collection of newer
software for cases where backporting all the fixes was impractical, and and even
smaller, optional set of newer packages where the demand for new features was
loud enough for them to offer it, but most of the time the default is still the
older version.
you are thinking of 5.10 as a new release, but it's really the 10th update of
the 5.0 release made in March 2007
