The purpose of the `deprecated()` virtual Provides: is to indicate to other packagers that new packages depending on this package are not allowed to enter the distribution (without a dispensation). For example, we don't allow new packages with a dependency on OpenSSL 1.1 and indicate this with the `deprecated()` Provides. It wasn't explicitly discussed in the meeting (and could be raised for official clarification if you desire), but my general feeling was that we were deciding to allow X11 support as roughly equivalent to a compatibility package. So I think the `deprecated()` indicator is sensible here, because we don't necessarily want an entire ecosystem growing out of these two packages. -- 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=2260793 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202260793%23c34 -- _______________________________________________ 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
