In Fedora, it is allowed for compat packages to conflict with their non-compat equivalents. EPEL policy allows for the same behavior between EPEL packages, but not between EPEL packages and RHEL packages. The current policy includes the phrase "at this time" for that limitation. I believe it is time we revisit that part of the policy. I brought this up at a recent EPEL Steering Committee meeting, and the general consensus was to open a wider discussion about the topic. I've written about this in more detail on the Fedora Discussion site. I'm sending this email for awareness, but please centralize your feedback on the Discussion thread. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/revisting-conflicts-policy-for-epel-compat-packages/90605 -- Carl George _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
