Description Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2010-04-23 17:38:17 UTC

Description of problem:

bzr in the RHEL6 beta is bzr-2.0.x.  There's a few reasons to update that to bzr-2.1.x before RHEL6 final comes out:

* Ubuntu Lucid (the Canonical long term release) is going to ship with bzr-2.1.x.  This is not a guarantee that the 2.1.x line will be supported for the life of that Ubuntu LTS release but it does increase the value of upstream maintaining 2.1.x as a supported platform.
* Important bzr plugins and tools using the bzr API have been ported to bzr-2.1.x now, not all have an active bzr-2.0.x branch.
* Fedora EPEL-5 has bzr-2.1.x (for the above reasons).  So customers migrating from RHEL-5 with EPEL to RHEL-6 will need to manually uninstall the bzr from EPEL-5 and then reinstall the bzr from RHEL-6 if they upgrade an existing host.

Thank you,
The EPEL-5 bzr maintainer

Comment 1 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2010-04-23 17:42:16 UTC

I was corrected on my assumption that RHEL supports upgrades between major versions rather than having to do a reinstall.  So the note about EPEL-5 vs RHEL-6 isn't so important.  IMHO, it still looks bad that a customer will have bzr-2.1.x when using RHEL-5 and have to downgrade to bzr-2.0 when switching to RHEL-6 but they won't have the manual update step to worry about.

The first two points still stand.

I'm setting Rebase keyword for this bugzilla. Since this is a rebase request, it has to be approved first. If you have a RHEL subscription, please file a support ticket for this issue, so it can be prioritized.

Comment 5 Josh 2010-04-26 14:55:29 UTC

I would like to see this deployed as bzr-2.1 in RHEL6 since bzr is not part of RHEL5.

What version of RHEL should the support ticket be filed against?  bzr is not a part of RHEL5 and RHEL6 is not a version option.

Thanks in advance,
