Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Additional info:
Veritas requests inclusion of this library in Red Hat 4. We support customers running older versions of Red Hat who find it a hardship to quickly update versions of NetBackup across their entire enterprise. If this cannot be added to RH4, we would appreciate comments on alternatives such as creating a link with this libary to the newer one. For several reasons, we don't believe we can package this file with NetBackup. We are aware of a compatability package that provides support from 2.1 to 3.0. What compatability package will this file be contained in? Might we be able to direct a customer to a package that has this file for 4.0?
Reassigning so the right person will see this. (libsigc++ is unrelated to libstdc++)
This should be in drops after beta 1. Please retest with the latest release candidate.

I understand that this is an old libarary. The response I got from Rob Kenna is that this would be in Red Hat 4 in drops after beta 1. VERITAS supports customers running older versions of Red Hat, and that is why we are making this request. For us, we plan to drop support of these older versions, so if Red Hat 4 is the last release that has this library, we are OK. Jakub, I'm going to interpret your message to mean that you want us to get off this library in the future but that it will be in Red Hat 4 as Rob Kenna writes. If this is incorrect information, please let me know. Steve Hedberg Steve.Hedberg
Yeah, the above listed packages is included in RHEL4. And we'd really appreciate if RHEL4 could be the last version to include this library.
