I don't agree with you , First where it is write that major release must be the un-version package ? keep gimp2 as gimp and do gimp3 package will not force modify any other package and we won't have broken things , which may happen if you build one package for gimp2 when there is gimp3 already and no one notice, but that is my opinion . Historically we got some cases , like wxGTK, wxGTK3, openjpeg and openjpeg2 ( btw openjpeg is not used by any package and openjpeg2 should move to openjpeg ) > Speaking of gimp2, it looks like the GIMP upstream is planning to > publish a gimp 2.10.x stable branch > https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/ but with a low priority. > > [1] obligatory XKCD reference: https://m.xkcd.com/1172/ > -- > _______________________________________________ > 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 > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- Sérgio M.
