You will have to deal with some fedora specific macros to enforce the version in related branches. It defeats the point to use a clean and agnostic method to determine the dependencies based on the project needs and instead relies on any "state" of the repository. A way to solve this is to enforce a policy where compat libraries must disable pkgconfig automatic provide to dis-allow such unexpected behavior. Looking at compat-openssl10, it doesn't seem to be done. Assuming the right library will be picked because the compat- prefix will weight negatively on the build requirements seems fragile. One build dependency can switch to compat, such packages dependency could then end making the switch silently in the same time. -- - Nicolas (kwizart) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
