Hello,
as far as I can see, EPEL 7 currently provides packages `python-django` and `python-django15` being versions 1.6.5 and 1.5.6 respectively. EPEL 6 provides `python-django15` and `Django14` being 1.5.6 and 1.4.14.
According to the Django documentation [1], since version 1.7 was released, version 1.5 won't receive security updates anymore. Wouldn't it be better to remove python-django15 from both repos and add 1.4 (current LTS which will be supported at least until March of 2015) to EPEL 7 and 1.6 to epel 6?
Thank you for the heads-up.
I recently retired python-django15 from Fedora 21+, and I should do the same ASAP for EPEL6 and EPEL7 as well.
(THIS IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT REMOVAL in about two weeks.)
About adding Django14 to EPEL7: Since there is currently Django-1.6, which is supported until March 2015 as well, I don't see any pro to add another Django version. The other reason is: having two versions in the same release is just a pain; I'd try to avoid this; they need to be installable in parallel. We had that, it didn't work very well.
Does this make any sense? Matthias
