We are reviewing rpms, not specs, so please build a new package for me to review. I can also take over sponsorship. And of course I have to test this on my XO first. URL does not work. And worst of all this patching thing wont work. How is one supposed to uninstall it? You need at least make a backup of the file that is restored when the package is uninstalled. Even this is *very* dirty, i never want to see anything like that in Fedora, but maybe we can make an exception for OLPC. Alternatives would be much better. -- 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
