Right. Never thought of this. Anyhow, even if we do this, I think the end result may still be broken, because the the config file may be different. I'll put it in and we'll see how it goes. viewvc-1.1.5-2.el4 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 4. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/viewvc-1.1.5-2.el4 viewvc-1.1.5-2.el4 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 4 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update viewvc'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/viewvc-1.1.5-2.el4 Any feedback on this new package? Only that it seems to upgrade cleanly from 1.1.4-1.el4; I already solved the problems created by the 1.1.4-1.el4 upgrade manually and don't have a box to play with recreating the problem. Did you test it yourself? I suppose it'd be fairly easy if you have a box that can be used for testing: install the last 1.0.x package, modify its config files, see what happens when upgrading with yum from that to this version. viewvc-httpd should be pulled in. I'm flying blind on this one - I have no RHEL4/CentOS4 machines at all. OUCH! Have you sought for co-maintainers? If nobody is available, I suggest orphaning the package for EL versions you can't test with. If you ask me, for an EL distro it's better to not have a package for something at all than to get shipped something that the maintainer isn't able to test... (In reply to comment #7) > OUCH!

So far it worked by using testing repository. I'd put the package in (which I use on Fedora, so I know it'll be mostly OK). Testers give me feedback on broken stuff etc. Lemme see if I can set up an EL-4 system somewhere or get access to one. I think I'm going to push this to stable. All EL-4/5 machines I have access to I cannot fiddle with using yum. Let me know if you're OK with me pushing 1.1.5-2 to stable. Just from reading the CVS diffs (not actually tested the direct 1.0.x upgrade to it) it seems okay to me. viewvc-1.1.5-2.el4 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 4 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
