F19 (soon to EOL) Build Problem

Development
1

We have a build problem for Candlepin on Fedora 19, but given it is EOL in
roughly a month, is it reasonable to skip fixing this for the time being?

Also we were wondering what the status is for F20/F21 and if anything was
going on in this area.

Thanks,

Devan

Katello itself has slowly drifted towards only supporting el6 and el7 as
far as running on the server. It was too much churn to try to maintain
fedora as a platform to run katello on and I'm not sure this will change
until users start requesting the ability to run on Fedora (which i
haven't heard any requests for so far). Foreman itself does still
support f19 it appears, but not f20 or f21 due ruby/rails versions. I
imagine they will drop support for f19 fairly soon given its EOL.

tldr; katello doesn't support F19 today, unclear if or when it will
support F20 & F21. feel free to drop F19 support in candlepin.

Sounds good, thanks!

I'll try to keep supporting it until we move to Rails 4, despite it
going EOL. I don't particularly want to drop it entirely in Foreman,
because it'll make it harder to reintroduce a newer release later.

(I don't know when Rails 4 will happen, I'd guess probably > 1.8 at this
rate.)
