Is there any policy at all on compat packages? I can't find anything except this oblique reference to "openssl" vs "openssl096b": https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name There are a number of compat-* packages in Fedora. We would like to add one for celt (an audio codec), since the bitstream changes incompatibly in each release, and interoperability depends on an application always using the same specific version. (This is in relation to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485245 and the celt package in both Rawhide and RHEL 5) Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
