If it doesn't, > someone tell me, cos I'd like to know =) This only works as long as there is a single package providing gnome-shell in the repo, as soon as someone releases a compat package this will fail big time. The reqs are evaluated separately, so rpm thinks a system with something providing gnome-shell 3.2 + something else providing gnome-shell 3.6 will work with your package. In rpm, to restrict a version range on both ends, you need to combine requires with conflicts (requires A >= x, conflicts A >= y). There is no way to specify a range not open to infinity on one end as an atomic requirement (it's an annoying limitation, but the positive side-effect is that it forced people to give up on strict version locking and packages upgrade by default). -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
