If you want to be transparent in the sense of not breaking people's working machines, then no, you should backport. If you want to be transparent in the the sense of keeping with FC practices, then yes, you should upgrade instead of backporting. > Flames? Thoughts?

Also not a flame... I've done this on some occassions in order to get up-to-date software onto my RH7.3 boxes and have found that dependency problems can make this *very* difficult. How concerned are you about this? My stuff is pretty application specific so inter-dependcy problems are minimal, but what about things like db3 or gd that are used across a lot of different packages? -- Matthew Nuzum <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> www.followers.net - Makers of "Elite Content Management System" View samples of Elite CMS in action by visiting http://www.followers.net/portfolio/ -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
