At least, when the maintainers of the old packages prepare the patches, they can make sure if the packages still work correctly. Our packaging guidelines seem to allow (but discourage) conflicts with compat devel packages, if you think this will be a lot of unnecessary work, I'm ok with the conflict. FWIW, the OpenSuse packages don't seem to have the conflict and their libguile1-devel package has the aclocal file renamed to guile1.m4. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
