Subject: Re: including EOL and vulnerable software in Fedora
How do you propose we do that? I can imagine patching the
interpreter
to print some warning about this every time it's run, but I wonder
if that's too much to ask.
This is possible.
I am not denying the usefulness, though I wonder why you would want
to
test against an unmaintained branch. I can see a case for python-2.6,
which will be maintained by Red Hat for a couple more years and I'd expect
the Fedora maintainer to either be the same person who maintains it in
RHEL or that they follow the RHEL package closely otherwise.
That holds true for the Fedora maintainer(s) of these packages, I don't know why you
would assume otherwise.
