No it wasn't, it was reported being queued for removal early next week. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-September/msg00689.html > Since I was only rebuilding it to get it back in the repo, I figured > incrementing the version was not necessary. Are you really going to make > me rebuild with a higher version number? Incrementing the EVR is *always* the right thing to do between two successful builds. If mftrace would have been removed and reintroduced without NEVR changes later in form of a new rebuild, there would have been the case that there are two *different* packages with the exact same NEVR installed out in the wild (people who installed the old one before it was removed, and ones who installed the newly rebuilt one). Usually this doesn't require extra attention because the push scripts prevent madness like this from entering the repo by not replacing existing builds with new, different packages (which is what happened in the mftrace case). The mass rebuild removals have introduced a window where people could sneak in no-NEVR-changed rebuilds, but I'm actively trying to catch and prevent it manually. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
