This is really where we're working around bad coding practices from upstream. Why doesn't Mono.Cecil adopt a stable API? Or at least a versioned API, so that when they break API, they increment version and then things can depend on a version of the API? This isn't rocket science. It isn't even novel. We don't generally permit package-local copies of system libraries for lots of reasons, like the fact that they often miss bug fixes, security fixes, often end up being duplicated in multiple packages and are much more difficult to maintain. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
