It may be even easier. You only need a buildroot override, if the build of OpenImageIO that's available in the buildroot (since it has been published before) is not API-compatible with what OpenColorIO wants. For future updates/upgrades of OpenImageIO, rebuilds of OpenColorIO would only be needed for ABI/API changes in OpenImageIO. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
