> Featuritis? Actually, do not see any usefulness in any module. *any* module ? Maybe you just haven't met the right use case yet. I maintain packages of MariaDB and MySQL projects. There's no better way I can imagine, to develop two version of the packages of the DB, than modules. Fedora have MariaDB 10.3 in base. 10.4 in modules. I maintain both, I actively fix both and I try to cooperate with upstream to get it so stable, that Fedora could switch to 10.4. [1] Apart from that, I don't want to force useres to do the upgrade immediatelly. I'm providing both 10.3 and 10.4 as modules (even though 10.3 is also in base), so the user can switch to the desired stream and stay with it, no matter when I introduce the new version into the base Fedora. of course, I don't plan to mainatin the 10.3 forever after the change will be made, but I believe i surely might come handy to someone, who wants the up-to-date and secure Fedora, but haven't got time to upgrade 10.3->10.4 yet. Althought I agree with that many of the modularized packages are not useffull modularized, and / or creates more issues that way; I certainly find the modularity usefull. As per Unix motto "do one thing and do it well" [2], I never expected modularity to solve all of my problems and use cases. Just some. And it did. Just fine. For me. ( Disclaimer: modularity will need time to also comply with the part "do it well" ;) ) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MariaDB_10.4 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Do_One_Thing_and_Do_It_Well -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat -- On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 2:07 PM Ralf Corsepius <rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 9/18/19 12:11 PM, Kalev Lember wrote: > > > > On 9/18/19 10:29, Petr Pisar wrote: > >> On 2019-09-18, Ralf Corsepius <rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >>> - package perl-libs-4:5.28.2-439.module_f31+6019+b24e098f.x86_64 is > >>> excluded > >> > >> Funnily DNF finds out that you could actually get that package satisfied > >> if you enabled a modular Perl.
