Yes, and they are parallel installable. The one and only issue is that if a user types just: yum install unison then yum is not picking the version I want it to (the most recent) Of course, since the packages aren't named just "unison", perhaps nobody will ever attempt to install "unison", so this may not be an issue at all. Everything else works just fine, to enumerate: yum update # with unison already installed yum install unison213 yum install unison227 yum install unison213 unison227 yum install unison213 ; yum install unison227 yum install unison227 ; yum install unison213 Probably others I forget. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
