I really don't know of any). I know that there were conflicts with Livna and what not a while ago, but those were for a handful of packages only. As for JPackage dropping their release tag policy -- not to be the devil's advocate, but they were here before Fedora... I have heard of numerous requests for technical arguments as to why the string is needed. But where the technical arguments as to why it should be removed? From what I have seen so far, reasons for that are pretty much "Because it looks better, because it a policy, etc." Cheers, Deepak -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
