In theory, although practically it probably wouldn't be the end of the world if they were not parallel installable (it's my understanding that the current module proposal does not allow parallel installation of modules). The scenario were parallel installation would be useful is something like you want to synch between *three* machines with mutually incompatible versions of unison, and the Fedora machine in the middle needing both.

It's worth looking at certainly. Could you look at these two files and tell me how they could be turned into a module? If you look at them side by side you can see they are very similar, probably one derived from the other at some point in the past: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/unison213/blob/master/f/unison213.spec https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/unison227/blob/master/f/unison227.spec Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
