Package is only updated when somebody maintains it. We hope all packages are maintained. :) Just introduce a package into FC6 and F7. And then have a security update. You start juggling around with reserving build tags like foo-1.2.3-1 (fc6) foo-1.2.3-2 (f7) fix: foo-1.2.3-3 (fc6) foo-1.2.3-4 (f7) "Hey", some people cry in the background, "we still have fc5 maintained", "please push it to fc5 as well". "Sorry, no integers left anymore" "Hey", the RHEL users say, "what about packages for us?" "Ar, em, I need to go home now, see ya!" It's manual, error-prone and doesn't scale, neither with releases, nor with dists. That's what I call pain. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
