Well, I suppose that it's what libsolv (that is used by DNF) will do. But the behavior is not documented in the DNF's documentation which implies that we cannot promise publicly how will DNF behave in such unsupported cases. And I believe that DNF cannot support these tags unless there is an official Fedora document/guideline that specifies the exact semantics. However, I'll be happy if it turns out that I'm wrong. -- Radek Holý Associate Software Engineer Software Management Team Red Hat Czech -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
