It isn't your fault (or anyone in the community), we don't have a good system in place for community repos to manage it in a way that would help when problems like this come up. We are in a much better place than a few years ago though, when packages had to be placed manually when creating repos, but more work is needed to address multi-version support in deb repos and yanking known bad versions out of the official/latest release location. > It's almost as if it was meant to push people into slow-moving dists > like Blue^H^H^H^HRedhat with ceph on top. > > -- > May the most significant bit of your life be positive. > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@lists.ceph.com > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
