Hi,
Yes the guidelines are clear for fedora. I miss tell that the
package is
present in fedora and epel repos and my question is more like this:
Is it possible to mix bundled/system libs ? like using system libs (the
must part in guidelines) for fedora packages and use bundled one for
epel packages (because libs are too old)
That's a much more interesting question :)
The first line of the main EPEL guidelines[1] says that you must follow
the Fedora packaging guidelines and that the EPEL links are for the
exceptions for EPEL.
So if the library is not available in EPEL, then I would say the answer
is yes, you can use the bundled library (even if you're not on Fedora).
For the 2nd question, can you use them if the ones in EPEL/RHEL are too
old, I'd like to see more feedback from others. Theoretically
dependencies in EPEL could be updated, but it has to be done very
carefully. For RHEL packages, I tried filling a bug about 6 years ago
and as far as I know it's still open, with little to no feedback from RH.
Thanks,
Richard
