The Fedora Project will not accept it as part of it's Fedora distribution or EPEL add-on repository, and Red Hat can do as it wishes -however it is still very much unlikely they'll ship it as it is. As to the reason this package is not / can not / will not be included; Please read the comments in this bug/review request. Long story short, Passenger ships a forked version of the C++ Boost libraries -and lags behind a dozen versions or so. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
