I think I asked this question before, but I don't remember the answer. Will Dennis's work include some way of letting high priority packages break low priority packages? As an example, I maintain the polymake package, which has way too much knowledge about perl internals. Very nearly every perl update breaks polymake in one way or another. Sometimes the breakage is easy to fix and I just go ahead and do it. Other times I have to go to polymake upstream and ask them to fix it. Either way, we should let polymake break and let me fix it as soon as I can. Perl updates should not be delayed. Will that be possible? -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
