If you don't want the > churn, then don't update your el4 boxen. Many of them are new versions, minor fixes, and packaging rearrangements. In many cases, they're as likely to introduce bugs as solve them. And, a general principle in "enterprise" is that it's better to live with the bugs you know you've got than risk new ones that may be worse. If there's a security problem and you've got no choice, you sometimes have to bite the bullet, but otherwise, it's nice to have a known schedule for these sorts of changes. If there's some other way to separate out the security fixes from the general churn (which, again, is a negative word but clearly the result of an impressive and positive project) in a pragmatic way, that'd be fine too. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
