If it uses pkgconfig - there shouldn't be any problem of header file confusion between different versions. In some cases (libshout 1 vs 2) there is conflict in the devel packages that would have to be carefully worked around, but with packages that use pkgconfig - that shouldn't really be an issue. Software that needs a compat version of one library might build just fine against newer versions of other libraries - in which case, having the devel package is useful because it would minimize the number of compat shared libraries a package needs - if it was built on fc5 using the devel package of the compat library that it does need the older version of. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
