Many non-standard Python packages > come from Yes there is reasoning behind this of distro's not? So you are presented with packages that have some sort of qualification to be stable and secure. My idea is that developers should use these packages and not others. Because it is outside of the scope of some developer to get involved in package selection, that is the job of maintainers of distro's. Currently I still have more confidence in people doing what is their core business, than people hacking on some code finding a quick fix library and jamming this into a repository. PS. Is this now an official redhat statement, that the advantages of using rhel distro are in decline? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
