No one has said it should not change. Just that it breaks all users existing work when it changes in non-backwards compatible ways. > I am explaining to them why this is not a productive view. The non-productive part is that every user who has ever built anything of non-stable components has to deal with the problem on an individual basis. Is there any centralized approach to converting something that worked on CentOS6 to run on CentOS7? Does the program that is supposed to try to automatically upgrade versions have any tricks hidden away to fix things so they work after the upgrade, and could any of them be run separately? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
