[elrepo] Feedback needed for DRBD packages

[Maurits van de Lande]

I'm a little confused.
drbd83-utils-8.4.1-1.el6.elrepo. shouldn't this be drbd-utils-8.4.1-1.el6.elrepo?

Onderwerp: [elrepo] Feedback needed for DRBD packages

Hi,

A recurring theme for the DRBD packages is that because there is a lack of feedback, new updates are not promoted from the testing to stable elrepo repositories.

Can I kindly request for people using DRBD in production, to follow the DRBD announcements and do their testing based on these testing packages when they are made available, rather than wait until they hit the stable repository and then perform the testing ?

I know that it seems very smart to have others do basic testing and only bother doing your own testing once it is promoted to the stable repository. But I guess everybody is being smart together, hence no testing and no promotion ;-)

The alternatives are to automatically promote when no issues arise after 7 days or to not bother going through the testing repository and expose those packages directly to all users. Which would be a disappointment, but it might be more acceptable than having new DRBD releases sit in testing for 2 months.

Feedback is appreciated. We'd like to learn from users...
