However, if there is an (unneeded) dependency on libdap itself, which was the case before, they will need a rebuild if there is no compat package. > grads/grads.spec:BuildRequires: libnc-dap-devel > ncl/ncl.spec:BuildRequires: g2clib-devel, libnc-dap-devel, librx-devel, > atlas-devel > nco/nco.spec:BuildRequires: netcdf-devel, libnc-dap-devel > octave-forge/octave-forge.spec:BuildRequires: ImageMagick-c++-devel > libnc-dap-devel pcre-devel gsl-devel > > > Seems pretty small, and you already seem to maintain many (most) of them. > How hard would it be to port to the new libdap and just skip the compat > package? I've CC'ed Balint who maintains gdal. I maintain ncl. There is only gdal which is not maintained by me in the libdap dependencies. But I will need to rebuild deverything using make chain-build but this is not practical because there are many packages to update at once. Since this time it is more than a rebuild, I thought that doing a compat-package would be more convenient (I use that compat package locally since a long time now). -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
