Can you > clarify, please? Sorry, I might have used the wrong idiom here. I meant to say: The major gtk-rs updates are a bit painful. - it's a lot of packages that need to be built in the correct order - all builds need to be submitted to bodhi together as a single update - not all applications port to new major gtk-rs versions immediately Especially the last one is the reason why I have, in the past, submitted breaking gtk-rs stack updates only to rawhide (or rawhide and branched, depending on the timing of the release). > I think it's worth trying to make sure there are more than one people who > know enough to keep the stack updated.

It's "just work", but it needs to be done carefully, and coordinated with maintainers of affected applications. > What makes it especially complicated?

The problem is not that it's *hard* to keep it up-to-date and do compat packages, but it's the *scope*. With previous bumps, usually all but one application had already ported to the new version, so adding a few dozen (!) compat packages just to keep one application building was just not worth it - so I announced the gtk-rs update as a breaking change, and only pushed it to rawhide. Do you think we'll have more applications that use gtk-rs in Fedora in the Future? Then the effort of creating / building / maintaining a few dozen compat packages for older gtk-rs versions *might* be worth it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2141725 _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to package-review-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
