He had patches for all affected gnome packages before even doing the 2.3.0 release, and he has only made the release after the Gnome release team strongly encouraged him to get libsoup 2.4 into Gnome 2.22. He has also provided a patch for libtranslate by now, and I'm sure he will be happy to help other package maintainers that are affected by this. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
