Hi, I believe the right thing to do would be to move to jline 3 for package 'jline' in rawhide and better, and perhaps keep jline2 as a compatibility package[1], like jline1 was at some point. That is, if some packages won't work with jline 3. %mvn_compat_version macro might be helpful. See for example: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/jline1/blob/f31/f/jline1.spec#_95 HTH, Severin [1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Java/#_compatibility_packages On Sun, 2020-12-13 at 20:43 -0700, Jerry James wrote: Hi all, I would like to keep jacop in Fedora. It is in danger of removal, due to the orphaning of scala. I've taken a look at keeping scala in Fedora, and updating it to its most recent version; see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/scala/ One issue is that recent scala needs jline 3.x (we have 2.x in Rawhide), and jline 3.x needs jansi 2.x (we have 1.x in Rawhide). Neither is backwards compatible with its previous major version. I have made jansi 1.x/2.x and jline 2.x/3.x parallel installable, but there is still at least one issue. The current jansi package Provides: jansi = 1.18-5.fc33 mvn(org.fusesource.jansi:jansi) = 1.18 mvn(org.fusesource.jansi:jansi-project:pom:) = 1.18 mvn(org.fusesource.jansi:jansi:pom:) = 1.18 osgi(org.fusesource.jansi) = 1.18.0 The jansi2 package on COPR Provides: jansi2 = 2.1.0-1.fc34 jansi2(x86-64) = 2.1.0-1.fc34 libjansi.so()(64bit) mvn(org.fusesource.jansi:jansi) = 2.1.0 mvn(org.fusesource.jansi:jansi:pom:) = 2.1.0 osgi(org.fusesource.jansi) = 2.1.0 There is overlap between the Provides, albeit with different version numbers. How should this be handled? I guess that packages that need version 1.x would have to include "BuildRequires: jansi < 2" and "Requires: jansi"? Also, is it better to keep the existing jansi and jline packages, and add jansi2 and jline3 packages as I have done on COPR, or would it be better to add jansi1 and jline2 packages containing the current contents of jansi and jline, and then move jansi and jline to their latest versions? I appreciate any thoughts anyone has on the matter.
