Here is another case of lack of communication between people touching
the same package.
On Aug 8, Zeeshan Ali built gnome-boxes-3.8.4-1.fc19 and submitted
update FEDORA-2013-14567.
On Aug 9, Christophe Fergeau built gnome-boxes-3.8.4-2.fc19. Instead
of editing the existing update, Christophe chose to create a competing
update, FEDORA-2013-14530.
Seems like there's something wrong with Bodhi here, because every time I
create an update when there's already an older update pending, Bodhi
obsoletes the old one and adds all the bugs from the old one to the new
update. Even if somebody else filed the older update and I'm creating
the new one. AFAIK, normal procedure is that you *don't* edit the old
update at all, but each package NVR should get a new Bodhi update (so
Christophe was correct in creating a new "competing" one) but that Bodhi
takes care of obsoleting the old one.
I have had this sort of thing happening to me a few times. From what I
remember, Bodhi doesn't seems to obsolete packages that are in the pending
state for updates-testing, so if you submit a new build within a day or so
of the previous one (for example if a security update comes out just after
another build) then bodhi may not obsolete the older build automatically.
