You are correct in that if we did a mass rebuild in dist-f13, we could move to .f##, but consider 3 days later a maintainer wants to push a new upstream release across the branches: foo-1.2-1.fc11 foo-1.2-1.fc12 foo-1.2-1.f13 We're back in the same boat where the "fc" packages will be n-v-r higher. If we did a macro change in dist-f13 and a mass rebuild, and did a macro change on dist-f12 and dist-f11 at the same time (without a mass rebuild) this might work. I'm not sure I like dist value changing on a released Fedora though. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
