This is just a RHEL6 regression waiting to happen. And really, code divergence is no excuse for doing development on rhel5-branch. Yes you have to do it twice in two drastically different ways, but getting it done on master first means we avoid the future regression. I know I'm guilty of this too, but we all need to be doing better. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
