They don't have any release notes or announcement and the only time this comes out is when users finally ask about it weeks later. Why is this not proactively announced to avoid a problematic release and hopefully prevent people from installing it? It would be great if there was an actual release notes saying not to upgrade to this version or something. > > I think the big question is why do these packages end up publicly so > that scripts, updates and anyone not actively trying to hold back get > exposed to them, then we are somehow supposed to notice that the > accompanying release notes are lacking and then from that divinate > that we shouldn't have upgraded into this release at all.

It isn't your fault (or anyone in the community), we don't have a good system in place for community repos to manage it in a way that would help when problems like this come up. We are in a much better place than a few years ago though, when packages had to be placed manually when creating repos, but more work is needed to address multi-version support in deb repos and yanking known bad versions out of the official/latest release location. > It's almost as if it was meant to push people into slow-moving dists > like Blue^H^H^H^HRedhat with ceph on top. > > -- > May the most significant bit of your life be positive. > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
