This really goes to the heart of the matter. When and how is it okay to introduce changes to APIs that applications depend on. I'm not saying they can't be changed, but are we making our best effort at minimizing the disruption when changes are introduced? Packaging metadata only goes so far, we don't have a facility to flag a change like this as its not exposed in a way that packaging can express as a depchain. I doubt we could have caught this with an automated tool before it landed in a repository even if was a mistake not meant to be pushed as an update. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
