At least the laws of thermodynamics are written down ... It seriously was not obvious to me that a broken dependency in some out-of-the-way package, in an older version of Fedora, that I added to *help Fedora users*, would be a problem. Someone could easily do the same thing in future. If broken dependencies are so unacceptable, then it should be added to the packaging guidelines.
I really don't care. Not breaking deps is common sense. And if you are in provenpackager and do NOT have that common sense, then I don't think you are a provenpackager.
let me make this clear so there is no confusion: INTENTIONALLY BREAKING DEPENDENCIES IS NOT ALLOWED. I'll be bringing your provenpackager status up for the next fesco meeting. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
