There is no easy way to automate moving from drbd-0.7.x to drbd-8.x ... so I can not see CentOS ever totally removing drbd-0.7.x OR making drbd-8.x an auto upgrade from drbd-0.7.x in CentOS-4. I have no problem adding drbd-8.0 (drbd8) or drbd-8.2 (drbd82) in parallel with drbd-0.7.x for CentOS-4. There are plenty of things (GNOME, KDE, everything really) in CentOS-4 that are not going to be upgraded ... just because that is how enterprise distros work. I mean, there is still a CentOS-2.1 with gnome-1.4 out there and people still use it ... security issues are backported. So as long as it works and there are not unresolved security issues, we will keep drbd-0.7.x around till the end of CentOS-4. > > So how about drbd (0.7 line) and drbd8 (the 8.0 line) in CentOS 4? Maybe even a drbd82 for both centos-4 and centos-5 that goes along with drbd (0.7.x in c4 and 8.0.x in c5). Do I understand that 8.2.x is going to continue on forward forever (as the 2.6 kernel seems to do) ... or will there be a 8.4.x, etc? > > Cheers, > > Ralph (@centos.org) Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS-4 Lead Developer -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
