Right now we're using a patched version of TG-1.0.9 in EPEL-6 which is basically the same as we have in EPEL-5 and also as the TG-1.x package in Fedora. EPEL-6 is an "interesting" target for me to figure out because we're currently in beta which means I can make potentially disruptive changes there but once we go out of beta we'll need to maintain that package version for 7 years. With those limitations, I'm not sure whether I'm pretty sure that I need to migrate TG-1.0 over to either TG-1.1 or TG-1.5 but I'm not sure which is my better option. My major questions would be:
Will the lifespan of TG-1.1.x be vastly shorter than TG-1.5.x or do you plan to support both of them for a long while? Is the compatibility of TG-1.1 with TG-1.0 much better than TG-1.5 with TG-1.0? The only reason that I need to maintain a TG-1.x package in EPEL is for compatibility with the TG-1.x line so apps written against TG-1.x continue to work. If a lot of porting might need to be done for TG-1.0.x apps to work with TG-1.5.x I'm better off using TG-1.1 (or even staying on TG-1.0.9 + patches :-( Thanks for any insight, -Toshio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
