We have version numbers (of a > sort) on compatibility libraries in Fedora, like "libsoup22" for instance, so > we can carry multiple parallel versions. We can do whatever we want... :) but do we really want to ship all the old relnotes in every release? Can't people just read them on the web. I am not veto'ing parallel install per se, but maybe it is worth considerng what is so special about docs packages that warrants/necessitates parallel install since we don't really do this for any other packages except libraries/tools needed occasionally for back-compatibility. > Can anyone clarify the difference between that situation and this? I guess libsoup22 was actually needed by one or more other packages in the distro? (Looks like it could/should actually be dropped now though - nothing seems to need it anymore - which illustrates the problem of keeping old compat packages around.) > If someone wants to work on Fedora 11 release notes in Fedora 10, and be able > to install them in parallel to see the results of their WIP, how would we > accomplish that, without having some distinction in the name of the package? Doesn't publican allow writers to create html/pdf file output for reviewing docs, etc without having to roll an rpm? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
