Hi All,

I would like some clarification from folks here regarding updating
gparted on EPEL-5 and EPEL-6.

The version of gparted shipped in EPEl-5 is 0.4.8 and EPEL-6 is 0.6.0
while the current upstream version is 0.19.1 (which I recently built
in EPEL-7).

Mike Fleetwood, who is a gparted developer, has opened a bug
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1133315) suggesting that
gparted be updated in both EPEL-5 and EPEL-6 since the current version
fixes lot of major bugs. As I understand it, major versions updates
are permitted if such an update fixes major issues. In this case, the
update would fix a big list of problem.

I tend to agree with Mike on updating but I would appreciate if people
on comment on this.

Thanks!
Mukundan.
