Aside from the Obsoletes and the symlinks, there's no particular reason that we couldn't have it in F31, and conditioning for below F32 would make things easier... Also, bzr failed to build in Fedora 31, last I checked... So does this mean we simply don't have a Bazaar implementation for Fedora 31? -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ 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
