https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658199 --- Comment #13 from Kevin Kofler <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Neal Gompa from comment #3) > Drop the Epoch. It's been out of Fedora long enough that it should be > removed. I disagree. This package has been in Fedora with Epoch 5, so it should never be reintroduced with a lower (or no) Epoch. People do skip releases when upgrading, or even keep the package from the EOL release if the newer release no longer provides it but does not force its removal (either deliberately because they still need the package, or accidentally because they just forgot about it – and for the record, I am absolutely against forced obsoletion of retired packages as long as they still work because people may want to keep them deliberately). By dropping the Epoch, you break the upgrade path for the people who still have the F23 or pre-F24-Rawhide package installed for whatever reason, so they may end up still sticking with the obsolete package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
