Full announcement:
--------
We just published new releases which fix a recently reported
vulnerability that allows an attacker to overwrite configuration
settings using user preferences. This can result in random file
access, manipulated SQL queries and even code execution. The latter
one only affects versions 0.8.6 and older.
Beside the security fix, the 0.9.5 release also includes other minor
bug fixes and improvements. Most notably it brings the default spell
checker back after Google suspended their public spell checking
service.

Hi,
We noticed at https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/syslog-ng that the
latest available Fedora EPEL 6 version of syslog-ng is from the 3.2 branch.
Are there plans to update this to at least the 3.3 branch?
I'm asking because, at
http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/opensource-logging-system…
it says that only the 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 branches are in their long term
support, so we're concerned about updates, esp. security updates.
Thanks in advance,
--

ChangeLog:
* Fri Oct 18 2013 Nathan Scott <nathans(a)redhat.com> - 3.8.5-1
- Update to latest PCP sources.
- Disable pcp-pmda-infiniband sub-package on RHEL5 (BZ 1016368)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before long RHEL will ship selected client-side-only glusterfs RPMs and
it will become necessary to withdraw glusterfs (and hekafs) packages
from EPEL.
If you haven't followed along in fedora-devel, here's (what I think is)
a fairly cogent, if terse, summary of what I'd like to do.
And FWIW, glusterfs in EPEL is past its sell-by date anyway. I.e. it's
3.2.7, and Fedora and the rest of the world are shipping 3.4.1, so even
if RHEL wasn't going to force the issue, it should be withdrawn one way
or another.
Questions? Concerns?

I think that would be acceptable. It's content rather than code so falls
under this section of the fedora packaging guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines…
Since this is for epel only, you probably want to talk to the other epel
maintainers about whether they have any issue with this plan but I don't
think it violates any Fedora Packaging Guidelines.
