I knew the reasons for the rename. But I still can't see any reasons why we shouldn't ship gutenprint as a update in FC6....
Because ethereal -> wireshark was an incremental release, a small bugfix change, even with the name change. Gutenprint is the first release off an entirely different branch (that's been branched for four years), and a much more significant change of the codebase. Hence the ethereal -> wireshark analogy falls apart. Gutenprint is a change more on the order of, say, the move from gnumeric 1.x to 2.0. Generally, though not always, updates, especially of criticical system software, are limited to smaller incremental changes and not massive new versions that involve entirely different branches. At least that's my take. John Thacker -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
