Re: RedHat update of up2date.

OK, VOTE TIME.

I'm sitting on 1.4.2, which is up2date v2.8 and v3.0 compatibility,
because we have reports that somethings broken in the delete code (The
reason clean trees work is that they don't hit the bugs in the delete
code).

Last night John B. gave me a mirror of his 18G unclean tree (its
basically a mirror of ftp.redhat.com).

Guess what? Builds great for me using the same snapshot that broke for
him.

TODAYS VOTE: 

Release a suspected 1.4.2 for those people who need the newer versions
of up2date to work while we tree to find a tree that breaks for me, OR
continue to sit on the code until we find that tree AND I figure out
whats breaking?

Voting will end tomorrow at 10am EST.


A clean tree is "any collection of dirs in any collection of channels
where no channel contains more than one version of a given package"
