Hey,


Just curious if the terabithia rpms will work properly with the rrdtool that is available with Centos 7 (1.4.8) or if they must have the version from terabithia (1.5.5).  Updating to Cent7 and figured this would be an ideal opportunity to use JC's RPMs.


thanks

In theory, this should work as there was no SONAME change, and installing 1.5.x rrdtool RPMs hasn't caused any problems I'm aware of with other EL7 packages that were built against the older, standard ones. A yum downgrade also worked successfully for me just now and hasn't shown any obvious problems (yet)...

That being said, due to the performance improvements most of my testing has definitely been with the 1.5x branch.


HTH,
