Sorry I was not on the loop, I am am the clement
designer/maintainer.
So If I goofed, I take the blame.
According my understanding of Clement thread, seems there
is 2 issues.
1) Why there is a repo defined within clement?.
I defined it (before clement was included within extras),
such if was easier for me to support site where
clement was installer (customers of mine).
Is it a good idea?, yes (may be no), such I set a clement
repo link to "enable=0" and user can take the very last
version from our site (conceptually seems no really different
than somebody taking a tar file and upgrading from a
master site).
Right, problem the repos definition doesn't fit very well
as we include distribution tag within the repo (we support
many clement distribution (RH7.3 -> FC6, CTOS, MV2006, ....).
I am ready to listen to peer suggestion about this, but
I think a sysadmin should be able to reach the very last
version (bleeding edge) in more convenient way than
going to a web site. In same time I do not think extras
should have a potentially not stable version included.
2) The way I updated the FC6 with 2-1.241 was rather "blunt".
Sorry about this, My purpose was to have the same (stable)
version in devel (FC7) and FC6.
According my quick reading of comment about this subject
I should had update the tar file and check CVS diff....
Ok, my fault.
So then:
What is the best course of action to me clean my mess?
