Rathann, do you know their opinions on the topic? However, please keep in mind that we never know what upstream may do. Any upstream developer of any library in the distro could do what Patrice describes in his wiki page at any time anyway, so we have to be prepared to deal with that with rebuilds if necessary. We can cover ourselves as well as possible by picking the lowest possible version. Besides, Patrice's argument has been used to prevent introduction of shared libraries for packages which really could use them (and give us security exposure because of it; see libnet, for example). I stand firmly against it. We have to be able to make a reasonable distro even in the face of upstreams which do dumb things. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/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
