Do we need to make a hard rule that unresolvable conflicts must at least be explicit? In other words, should it be a bug when any packages conflict without explicitly using Conflicts:? And should the newer one conflict with the older one, or should they both be fixed to explicitly conflict with each other? Do we need to note under "Optional Functionality" that the Conflicts: should go away when the package being conflicted with is in the repository and the oldest possible version in a particular distro release is new enough not to conflict? This would get rid of many of the conflicts that glibc has. Additionally, do we need to add something to indicate that glibc's versioned conflict with glibc-devel should instead be done with a versioned requirement in glibc-devel? I guess the general wards against Conflicts: cover this case, but a specific note may be of use. - J< -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
