In my opinion it is more than lack of coordination. There is a will to remove completly openmotif from fedora core for FC-6 whatever the temporary breakages are. Another symptom is that an important package coming from core, ddd, is (in my opinion) still not ready for inclusion in extras although it was allready more or less approved. And lastly there is no openmotif package packaged which would have contained shared libs only and would have eased the transition a lot. As I repeated allready lot of times, doing the transition so abruptly, especially when there are very easy possiblities to do otherwise is detrimental for the users. The transition could easily be smoothened by shipping a package containing the openmotif libs only; even better and not hard would have been making parallele installable packages except for -devel subpackage which would have conflict. Making completly parallel packages isn't impossible, though it may be more difficult and less easy to use. -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
