Reverting to upstream's current 2-digit format would require an epoch bump, which would still make the EPEL package rpm-newer than packages containing more recent code from elsewhere, unless they too did the same epoch bump. It is unfortunate that perl's and rpm's ideas of version numbering don't line up with each other; that's the underlying cause of the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
