So are package maintainer responsibilities as well as QA criteria: "In Rawhide, updates to packages may cause other packages to have broken dependencies. Maintainers will be alerted when this happens, and should work to rebuild their packages with all due haste. Broken dependencies may leave end user systems in a state where no updates will be applied. In order to keep the distribution in a reasonable state, someone will step in and rebuild packages that have had dependency issues for some time, but package maintainers should not rely on these rebuilds." http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_responsibilities#Track_dependency_issues_in_a_timely_manner "* The distribution SHOULD not contain any broken EVR paths (i.e. packages that RPM considers "older" than those in the previous release). * The distribution SHOULD not contain any broken dependencies." https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/ReleaseCriteria#Package_Sanity Regards, Christoph -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
