Quoting James Kosin <jkosin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
not to start any kind of flame war, but just for accuracy's sake, the recent sendmail release *was* tested before public release - i
Yes, but IMHO not enough, but that is totally another matter.
that may say that our required testing is insufficient; i wouldn't presume to comment on that. but i don't believe sendmail was rushed out the door any more untested than any other package would have been.
It was tested as well as anything is, which isn't very well any more. But again, that is another issue. The relevant issue with this is that sendmail was indeed a case where backporting was not feasible, and upgrading was required, for some versions (in this case old RHL releases). And an example of both how FL does upgrade versions when needed, and what kind of issues can arise when that happens. As can be seen in the sendmail upgrade, lots of other things (alternatives, pam, etc) can come into play that are not immediately obvious. -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
