[Freeipa-users] Postponing IPA 3 upgrade

[Rashard.Kelly at sita.aero]

Thanks for all the replies, We are using Red Hat Satellite Server to 
handle Yum updates but I am still getting a grasp on how it works. After 
talking to one of our admins, I was told that it should not do a major 
version upgrade without being explicitly told to. 

The servers are virtual so I will clone them off before the next patch 
cycles.
Is there an official go-live date for IPA3 in RHEL?

Thanks,
Rashard

He could if he has spare hardware laying around. Or if he is running it 
virtulized you could clone the vm easily and test it on a virtual 
network not connected to the rest.

But if you read Rashard's post correctly, he is afraid of yum 
automatically updating freeIPA and breaking it.

@ Rashard

You should not be letting yum update automatically but use Katello, Red 
Hat Network Satellite or Spacewalk to install updates.

Still I would like to know the same. Some other projects use version 
dependant repo's so you can choose to switch by changing repo, others 
put the version number in the package name.
