And if that was the case, then it definitely would be. Unfortunately, a compat-* package is a new package with new requirements. As you note, there can be conflicts that arise from such a package that need to be resolved before building and pushing it into the repository with the non-compat version. Resolving the immediate source of filesystem conflicts can sometimes require patching source to look in different directories as well. With C libraries, header files and other development bits may be pruned out. A compat-* package is a different beast from the normal package that spawns it. You're an experienced enough packager that your first stab at a package will probably be excellent. You have an excellent reviewer in tibbs lined up and ready to review it. So there won't be much holdup between the time you submit and the time it hits the repository. That may tempt you into thinking a compat-* package is trivial and the review mere bureaucracy. But think for a moment of what happens when we have other, less experienced packagers, submitting compat-* packages. Experience with compat-* packages in Extras has shown that even moderately experienced packagers tend to forget some things when packaging compat-* packages for the simple reason that they have special caveats that are different from the non-compat packages those packagers are used to creating. We need the review step to help catch these problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
