With the release of version 7.0.0 of the community version I plan to maintain a separate repository that contains this version. The packages will start their life in Fedora rawhide and be available in this repository for all currently supported RHEL/CentOS/Fedora releases.

This is to help people maintaining a consistent installation and not to force an upgrade to version 7.0.0 on critical systems.
With the addition of one of the two repositories, users will have the choice of installing version 5.2.13 (as it is now) OR 7.0.0 for all supported distributions, including RHEL 7.

Question for the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora users out there that are using packages from my repository: do you prefer a separate repository with version 7.x for all platforms or an upgrade into the current repository?

Before release, I was thinking about the separate repository because I was expecting a database upgrade or some sort of big change that could have required manual intervention during the update. With the current release, this can also be a drop in replacement for 5.2.13 and only a restart is required; so it could be a normal update.

What's your preference?
