Re: IDS release dates -- as of today :)
Posted in 2007
Posters tracked IDS release dates. A poster reported IDS 10.00.FC7 for Red Hat AS4 had been released and estimated 11.10.FC2 for about the end of October. Another asked why wait for FC7 or FC8 rather than move to IDS 11. Neil Truby answered that it is conservatism, since few would run high-availability systems on a first release, and asked whether PMR holders could be notified automatically of fixes.

IDS 11.10.FC2 for Redhat AS4 the current estimate is Oct 22 (better say end of the month).

Conservatism. It would be a brave user who went live on a high-availaibility system with the first couple of releases of *any* vendor's software.

If anyone from Tech Support is reading, and I know they often do, would there be any simple way of associating an automatic customer notification to a PMR so that those waiting for the release of a specific version in order to correct a bug could be notified without having to keep logging into PPA to check? rgds Neil
