Don't forget the opposite direction: multiple packages for multiple APIs of some framework. Compat-packages in disguise. For example, Qt 3 and Qt 4. Both are stable major releases. Now, if a big application, that was developed for Qt 3 by several dozen upstream developers, is not available for Qt 4 yet, the single packager cannot be expected to take over the porting from one API to another. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
