Well, if that has to happen, you will also have to add a versioned requirement to any of the subpackages that need the new fixed core package. Otherwise you can have a case where someone installs fc6, installs python-twisted-core, and then many months later installs say python-twisted-words. Since there isn't a version requirement there it will happily install with the older python-twisted-core package. > >I don't think versioned depends make a lot of sense in this scenario since you >cannot predict when it will *stop* working, so you cannot put an upper limit on >your versioned depends anyway. Whatever you put in is going to break >regardless . As long as the subpackages are working with the available core package there shouldn't be an issue. If there is something in a subpackage that needs a fix in the core package, I think at that point you will have to add a versioned requirement for the fixed core. So, I think there is no issue now with it being unversioned. If it needs to be versioned later for a fix you can do so at that point. I see no further blockers here... this package is APPROVED. Please remember to close this package review as NEXTRELEASE once it's been imported and built. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
