Summary: Merge Review: automake17 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225301 ------- Additional Comments From pertusus@xxxxxxx 2007-09-19 09:51 EST ------- (In reply to comment #13) > a conflict makes sure that you can install automake-1.7 when automake17 is > installed. AFAIK rpm currently allows this. Indeed (although in that case there will certainly be a file conflict). But since it is obsoleted this is not useful since the automake-1.7 will be removed in normal cases. Conflicts should be avoided, but I won't make it a blocker. However, it shouldn't conflict with anything else than 1.7*. > I'd rather not go the road with the multiple obsoletes.

But it renders the Obsoletes of 1.6 by 16 unusefull. And are you sure that the right version gets installed when there are multiple Obsoletes? It is not that clear. Obsoleting only 1.7.9 is clearer as it means that it simply was a rename. And your argument holds if there is only Obsoletes: 1.7.9 If someone uses an ancient automake version, I'm quite sure he/she knows how to install it. > This doesn't concern users of FC-2 and newer as they already have automake17 and I don't think that we should target some users, but try to do as right as possible for those who have old automake versions installed, whatever version it is. In any case, this is not very important since the users who want to do such upgrades and keep compat packages are likely to be knowledgable, but in any case we should do the best we can. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/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
