There is also an unwritten (I think it's unwritten. A quick search didn't
find it in the guidelines) rule that in Fedora, the current version of the
library carries the base name. Older libraries carry the version in the name.
Interesting ... it seems time is changing. I made several attempts to
make this unwritten rule to be written, the last wrap up and my
latest proposal can be found here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2012-October/008740.html
Your proposals keep failing because they run contrary to the unwritten
rules rather than canonifying them.
May be I missing something, but what is different in
Always consider to let a nonversioned package to follow an upstream
release versions. The other versions of package kept in Fedora for
compatibility reasons should be either prefixed by compat- prefix or
their name should be suffixed by version string.
contrary to
the current version of the library carries the base name. Older
libraries carry the version in the name.
Your usage of compat- is contrary to the unwritten rule.
Would you mind to explain yourself a bit more please?
Ah, ok, so let me quote you [1]:
"compat-foo is not for packages in Fedora. It is the shared libraries
that are necessary for thirdparty packages to run with the old versions
of the libraries."
However, there are probably exception in the same sense as my proposal.
That is perfectly fine for me. So compat- is probably not a good idea.
If you say that, we could have already updated revision of the draft.
