So our options are:
1. We stick w/ CentOS5 as our ref build system for 4.2.0 but force
Gnome VFS.
2. We move to CentOS6, accept the default of GIO but understand that
this moves CentOS5 as a non-supported OS for our community builds.
3. Just as we offer Linux 32 and 64bit builds, starting w/ 4.2.0
we offer CentOS5 community builds (w/ Gnome VFS) IN ADDITION
TO CentOS6 builds (w/ GIO). (i.e.: 32bit-Gnome VFS, 64bit-Gnome VFS,
32bit-GIO, 64bit-GIO).
If the post on your web space spurs a debate, we can indeed let users
choose; but if that doesn't come I guess we are simply left with the
responsibility of choosing for them, and option 3 looks the best one.
In that sense, CentOS 5 is not only old but officially dead and
unsupported. This should be taken into consideration, not only the
number of users. That said, virtually any Linux distribution released in
2011 or later (a huge period by Linux distributions standards) will be
supported if we switch to CentOS 6 for "official" builds. Bugzilla link:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127513
It seems reasonable to believe that we can offer CentOS6 builds from the
download page and CentOS5 builds (in a "more unofficial" fashion, as we
already did once in the past; and linked from the Release Notes but not
from the download page) from a committer's home directory.
