Yeah, i agree, its not like having the fedora version and the upstream version installed in parallel would work well anyway (which is which in the shell?). I think we need to handle this in the same way that we handle two different versions of an upstream gedit installed in parallel (which currently has only one at a time being exported to the system). We probably need to mark somehow that this is a fedora built version though. Maybe we could add a packager field to the metadata. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
