Hi

As mentioned in the storage meeting - DPM 1.8.7 is about to be released and most of the components move into EPEL only (the metapackage and yaim remain in EMI) .

I am going to update soon - possibly tomorrow - however I notice from the current discussion between the DPM and EMI teams that there are currently still some conflicts. These will get resolved I'm sure but meanwhile I thought I ought to warn you . I would strongly recommend not to update your DPM in the next couple of days. Nor any component that depends on DPM libraries: including the WN. This is only for the next couple of days (I hope).
Similarly it would be best not to have your machines autoupdate these packages - that is generally good advice but I thought worth a warning now - most likely they would just not update until everything appears in the right place (because of missing dependencies) but again just to be sure.

Cheers for now.

Wahid
