This > could be blocker for other packages requiring any other release. On the contrary, unversioned provides should be avoided if at all possible because rpm treats them as "any version". So for instance, if a package containing perl(foo) version 1.01 contained an unversioned provide of perl(foo), package "bar" that required "perl(foo) > 2" would be satisfied by that version 1.01 package even if it also contained a provide for "perl(foo) = 1.01" due to the unversioned provide satisfying the dependency. -- 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. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
