Dear GNOME maintainers, I would appreciate it if you announced changes that cause broken dependencies. Last month, without any warning, I started getting nagmails about broken dependencies in one of my packages (gnomeradio) in rawhide and F-14. The missing dependency was libgnome-media-profiles.so.0 Soon after I finally got round to rebuilding the package (and porting it to current GTK2 in rawhide, by the way), I got another nagmail telling me the package has a broken dependency again. This time it's libgnome-media-profiles-3.0.so.0 Again, there was no announcement. I am a little upset about it and I'm asking for some HEADS-UP e-mails either to devel(-announce) or to the maintainers of the affected packages next time. You probably didn't mean it that way, but I find your relying (intentional or not) on the automated dependency checks to inform the maintainers that you've just broken their packages a little rude. I'm sure you have (and had) your hands full taking care of the transition forth and back, but seeing that you did have the time to mention gnomeradio on the GNOME3 Feature wiki page, I find it odd that you didn't find the time to send a short e-mail announcing the ABI breakage.
