As said before, I disagree, and I want to get our package back in line with upstream and other distros. That being said, there is another possibility: if you feel so strongly that our current packaging of libev is the way it should be and it shouldn't change, then please take the package, so I'm not at the receiving end of users' requests and confusion. I argued the point with upstream, they refuse it, I don't feel like arguing more about it. -- Mathieu -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
