If a package is not rebuilt from FC6 to F7 (or F7 and F8 etc) then there is no need to think about upgrade paths, they are trivial, e.g. no upgrade is needed at all. And the policy of rebuilding packages at least once does (sadly) not apply for F7, it will hopefully be picked again for F8, let's see. So with the current policy in place: If your package does not have a Real Good Reason to be rebuilt for F7 wrt to FC6 then you are discouraged to do so, and therefore you can possibly even get away with a simple cp op and never get into the problem of F7 < FC6 and having to rebuild for F7. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
