On the subject of point releases... but not exactly the same
reasoning... I've brought up the idea of supporting EUS (z-stream) in
the past which was more or less shot down. Being that we are still
in EPEL 6 beta times... I figure its worth asking again, is there any
thoughts of supporting EUS? Currently, if any RHEL users out there
are using EPEL base on an older EUS point release (like 5.4z) ...
some things have the potential to break (memcached due to libevent,
etc).
Well, we don't even do point releases... this would be another layer on
top of those? So, EL-5.1z / EL-5.1 / EL-5.2z / EL-5.2 ?
The reason I ask is... if we build out the capability to build
against up coming point releases separately, how much more work would
it be to keep older point releases around... allowing EUS users to
access EPEL 6.x for packages that are built against their EUS point
release.
About 2x as much? or more?
