Re: epel 5.4 missing reviewboard package
Thanks guys, well we moved to a recent ubuntu instead and installed it.. not our standard work environment though, but it was less trouble like that.

Re: epel 5.4 missing reviewboard package
@Stephen: My own version did not have this patch. Newer RBTools (as you mentioned) tries the system copy first. However the company wouldn't use it unless it had that patch included. Something like.. don't fix it if it's not broken ;) On 12 November 2013 13:35, Stephen Gallagher step...@gallagherhome.comwrote: On 11/11/2013 07:21 AM, Dan Porter wrote: For those wanting to run RBTools under EL5 (which is unfortunately our main production environment still), attached is an unofficial package we use at our company.
