Backporting is > a lot less work... Odd, it would seem the opposite in most occasions to me. We've broken stuff on RHL releases sure, and even maybe FC1/2, but what about 3, and coming 4, and such? If we were better at checking broken deps and whatnot, would it not be easier to bump package A, respin B and C if necessary, then beating head on desk for a good long time trying to work out a backport when there is no backport available (like when our package version doesn't match any of the close RHELs to steal from?) -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
