RHEL 5 will be supported until 2017. If we really want to keep RHEL 5 compatibility, we'll not be able to move forward the next 5 years. Python 2.4 will be 13 years old then and will not have been fixed for 9 years. And even Python 3 will be 9 years old then. I expect the first Linux distributions switching to Python 3 the next two or three years. This is when it becomes rally hard, still maintaining Python 2.4 compatibility. I doubt, it's a good idea binding the development of an application to the release policy of an distribution. Esp. since it should be easy to prepare Python 2.7 and the few modules required by Shinken even for and old Linux release. > No Shinken in OMD for CentOS/RedHat 5.x which is a very bad idea (it's > already a castrated package because it includes no Shinken UI for these > versions) Yet another reason why OMD should include a recent Python version :-) -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
