Even if I did see one (and admittedly I didn't look at _every_ mail in the January archive) I wouldn't have believed it. There is nobody who could say with a thing with authority, since individual package maintainers will generally make up their own minds. Warren's response was as follows: "Core and Extras are under no obligation to change anything to cater to any 3rd party, although the individual package maintainers have the option of doing so if it is reasonable. Regular changes in Core and Extras are possible if they are general bug fixes." (http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2006-January/msg00019.html) Please, file bugs against specific packages if there are ways that they could be improved, with a coherent explanation. I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure precisely what these 'versioned Obsoletes' are intended to fix, or how. -- dwmw2 -- 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
