Hello, I have updated mongodb from 2.0.7 to 2.2.0. It is currently going through the normal channels for rawhide and Fedora 18.
10gen has a very good track record for being backwards compatible. According to their documentation "When upgrading a standalone mongod, 2.2 is a drop-in replacement." and "MongoDB 2.0 data files are compatible with 2.2-series binaries without any special migration process." If upgrading replica sets and sharded cluster, you should follow the procedures from their release notes. http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.2/#upgrading
What are people's thoughts on bringing it into Fedora 16, Fedora 17, EPEL6 and EPEL5?

I have had requests for mongodb 2.2.0 for Fedora 17, as well as EPEL 6 and 5. I am going to build for those tomorrow and let things sit in testing for at least a week (2 weeks for EPEL).
The only concern I have received thus far is whether packages will need to be rebuilt against the new mongodb 2.2.
From everything I have looked at, the answer is no.
The API's should be backward compatible. The libraries provided are the same name, there is no increase in number.
$ rpm -qp --provides libmongodb-2.0.7-2.fc18.x86_64.rpm libmongoclient.so()(64bit) libmongodb = 2.0.7-2.fc18 libmongodb(x86-64) = 2.0.7-2.fc18
$ rpm -qp --provides libmongodb-2.2.0-6.fc18.x86_64.rpm libmongoclient.so()(64bit) libmongodb = 2.2.0-6.fc18 libmongodb(x86-64) = 2.2.0-6.fc18
Thank You Troy Dawson
