Due to concerns about updating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x these will probably remain in testing until 2.2.1 is out and packaged. So, if you are running Fedora 17, or EPEL 6, you can test mongodb 2.2 by using the testing repositories. But it won't go into those main repo's until at least mongo 2.2.1. Thank you for the feedback I've received. Troy p.s. Nick has been working with me some off-line. But since my project needed 2.2, and his didn't, I took the lead for this. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
