[opensuse-factory] New e2fsprogs update - too late for 12.1 ?
All, I just noticed how out of date e2fsprogs is in factory. We have 1.41.11. 1.41.14 came out about a year ago and apparently there have been further hundreds of commits since then. In the last couple days, the e2fsprogs maintainers (Ted Tso and Eric Sandeen) have said they are trying to get a new update of e2fsprogs released in the short term (1.42 I assume) with hopes of it going into Fedora 17. If 1.42 is released in the next few weeks, is that likely to get into 12.1? (Fedora Rawhide has been running a unofficial snapshot of 1.41.14 + what's in git since July so it has gotten testing there.) If 1.42 is considered too new, can we get 1.41.14 at least? I'm curious in that I have a e2fsprogs patch I want to submit, but there is not much point if there is going to be a version upgrade prior to 12.1 Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Someone just needs to submit it. :) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

And test it like crazy. It's a very core and critical package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ciao, Marcus
I'm glad to hear 1.42 might get in if the timing of the release is soon. == RE: 1.41.11 vs. 1.41.14 in factory Maybe I'm just confused. I checked the version number by searching for the package in the download search page. http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=e2fsprogs&baseproject=openSUSE%3AFactory&lang=en&exclude_debug=true You can see it shows 1.41.11 is in filesystems dev repo for factory. But when I go look at the OBS package itself (and the spec file) I see 1.41.14 source that's 8 months old. In fact, if I use the download search page to look for the 11.4 version, I see 1.41.14 was in it last March. http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=e2fsprogs&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.4&lang=en&exclude_debug=true Why does the search interface show a 8 month or older version when I do a search for the factory version? If the search is totally unreliable for factory, maybe it should be removed from the pull-down?
