[BlueOnyx:06978] Re: IMPORTANT: Last nights YUM updates - official fix

[Chris Gebhardt - VIRTBIZ Internet]

Just a brief note of thanks and a pat on the collective back of the BX 
community for (a) recognizing, (b) sharing and ultimately (c) resolving 
the curve-balls we were thrown this weekend.

I've "only" been doing this since 1996.  In that time I've been part of 
numerous projects and have employed various Open Source & commercial 
packages in our hosting operations.  Whether it's the big commercial 
vendors or the smaller Open Source offerings, things do break.  That's 
just a cost of doing business with computers.  Stuff breaks.  It's the 
resolution that we all ultimately are concerned with.  I've seen the 
major players (who we paid big $$ for support to) sit on their hands as 
hours turn to days which turn to over a week on issues similar to what 
we faced here, while users and customers are left twisting in the wind.

This weekend's efforts are something we can be proud of.  Everybody who 
has posted here has my admiration and appreciation.   And... I'm 100% 
sober.  :)
