Summary: Eject perl-TimeDate from EPEL4? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487378 Summary: Eject perl-TimeDate from EPEL4? Product: Fedora EPEL Version: el4 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: perl-DateTime AssignedTo: steve@xxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: kgraham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: steve@xxxxxxxxx, fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora As of 4.6, perl-TimeDate got rolled into the main RHEL distribution, with revision 1.16-5.el4 (Jun 27 2007 according to specfile changelog). This matched EPEL4 at the time, but EPEL bumped to 1.16-6.el4 on Jun 28 2007. This version bump in particular would seem to be against policy of "enhance and never disturb the Enterprise Linux distributions they were build for. Thus packages from EPEL should never replace packages from the target base distribution...". Policy doesn't seem clear on the conflict policy when a package is promoted from EPEL into RHEL (it would seem the promote should also include a release bump to ensure preference of the RHEL package), but bumping the EPEL release above RHEL's would seem to be a clear bug.
