So the question is : do we want to provide both 8.2.7 (as drbd82 package) and 8.3.1 (as drbd83) ? It seems to me that drbd83 is 'just' an update to the 8.2.x branch (it could be named 8.2.10 in the Lars' answer) The reason why there was a drbd (for 7.0.24 on el4 and 8.0.6 on el5) and drbd82 was that metadata was not usable anymore and some config parameters were completely different and so a simple `yum update drbd` could break the existing setup.
No, that was not the reason (at least not for drbd82 on CentOS 5).
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2795 and especially http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2008-May/009379.html (Thread URGENT Request for DRBD Developers) on the drbd mailing list, it is split into several threads here: http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2008-May/thread.html
Now the question seems to be : do you still need to split between drbd82 and drbd83 ?
I don't really care, I also can work with a drbd83 only but I'm sure someone will begin yapping again.
Problem is: The current git version does not build for me (I just gave it one shot, no debugging yet), I might try the git tag SuSE pulled out for SLES11.
