ATrpms has some needs to replace some core packages. Does this break your system? No, it does not.
ATrpms replaces many packages which it does not need to replace (I'm almost certain of this considering how many packages it replaces). You should not replace core packages in your repository. Instead you should file bug reports against the packages in FC/FE which you need to replace in order to fix them so they don't need to be replaced. If there is *anybody* on this mailing list that disagrees with this statement, please speak up. I doubt anyone will.

If I wanted to magnify my argument I would have listed the 20-30 additional packages that show up when I do a "yum update" and it brings in all the dependencies as well. There are so many packages you override that attempting to magnify it would be a waste of my time. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
