Dne 11.9.2015 v 15:47 Reindl Harald napsal(a):don't tell me rpmfusion could not easily make that fully automatedThis Fedora plan simply puts too much work at everyone's hands. Sure - people who care about safety might have some option - like I always want to have ONLY the latest lib - and drop everything else, but there are still lot of users who could live with older libs quite happilly (and especially in the case they do not use the library in question AT ALL - which is the maint point here)you said "every one has tons of free time" - well - and who would maintain the dozen of versions of libraries packages?You miss few important points: 1.) If you have lib.so.2 and lib.so.4 - it may need far more work then just running rpmbuild - so far away from 'fully automated'.
do we now build distributions backed by "may" and "possible"in most cases it is just a "rpmbuild" like the mass-build on koji and the exceptions need some handwork, no big drama
2.) What maintaining time are we talking about - since Fedora breaks working thing in the first place for no good reason and force massive maintenance time on every user of new library in 'short' time for some potential 'security' fixes - but you may on the other hand put in dozed of new security breaks anyway - and when I see how frequently i.e. gtk libs may break whole distro - it would be far more pleasant to see just couple broken apps at time - instead of rendering whole rawhide unusable....
just because you don't understand or agree with the reasons don't mean they are not good
