I think there was a similar problem at the end of EL-5 when a 'YOU HAVE TO UPGRADE' fix from Mozilla was released and while a lot of work was done by Red Hat to get it to work on RHEL-5, some items (and I really think it was sound and plugins) did not work. At the tail end of a release, most 'desktop' concerns are very hard to figure out as 10 year old software API's are rarely kept working by the various 'upstreams'. I want to be clear that I do understand this is causing major issues for users. I think a lesson learned from EL-5 and EL-6 is that EL releases need to be clearer on the difference between desktops and servers. There seems to be a point where desktop utilities fixes are mainly going to be 'reasonable effort' versus 'guaranteed' to be 100%... usually in the last 6 months of a release. That way users can plan better that a certain amount of work is going to be needed by them to continue it working.> -- > Yves Bellefeuille > <yan at storm.ca> > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Stephen J Smoogen.
