Update coming.... [big snip] > Seems to be that rpmlint wants to have explicit versioning of the "Provides" > entries. Yes. and I understand why. But rpmlint /doesn't/ complain about all the automatically detected unversioned provides (this package has ~70). The explicit provides are consistent with those automatically detected, and necessary since other packages may depend on them. Versioning them would be a lie since upstream hasn't given them explicit version (and where upstream has versioned specific packages, the version numbers bear no relation to the overall version of the distribution itself). (And as an aside, thanks as ever for the reviews. I'm busy trying to update cweyl's packages at the minute, but will try to return the favour). -- 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
