schestowitzcinch: Novell made it hardJun 01 14:29
schestowitzThey keep the source behind a wall . I wrote some articles about it in 2007.Jun 01 14:30
cinchyea.. only subscribers get itJun 01 14:30
cinchand... if you are a subscriber, leaking the patches to others, then who says they wont ban you :/Jun 01 14:30
schestowitzNot just patchesJun 01 14:31
schestowitzThe codebase too AFAIK, core packagesJun 01 14:31
schestowitzThere was a discussion back then about GPL compliance, toJun 01 14:31
schestowitz*tooJun 01 14:32
cinchwell you can download the source code of the base system, its on the DVD2Jun 01 14:32
cinchjust not patchesJun 01 14:32

MinceRi can't recall anything elseJun 01 14:35
cinchthing that irks me about CentOS/RHEL is they dont support upgrades from release to releaseJun 01 14:37
cinchits (from what ive heard on irc..) usually a complete reinstallJun 01 14:38
cinchunlike SLESJun 01 14:38
cinchbut ok, in an enterprise environment, thats probably the normal way to handle upgrades anyways, to test before deployingJun 01 14:40
cinchso i'll probably go with CentOS Jun 01 14:40
MinceRyou can test before deploying and then upgrade all servers to next releaseJun 01 14:41
MinceRso they aren't mutually exclusiveJun 01 14:41
cinchtrueJun 01 14:41
MinceRthat said, i haven't used CentOS muchJun 01 14:41
