Just to be clear: We have now 3 "main" distributions: 4.8-RELEASE,
5.1-RELEASE and 5-current. Do you mean Tier-2 should carry both 4.8
and 5.1, only 5.1 (the lastest release), or only 4.8 (the recommended
release)?
As I have stated before in private, I currently have only packages
for 4.8-RELEASE, but have both ISOs and dists for 4.8 and 5.1-RELEASE.
Is this ok?
