But it stirred more conversation, the whole thread started at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-October/msg00006.html I have reread it, gfortran developpers, in general didn't thought that it should be version specific. > I agree with you that normally that shouldn't have any effect as > rebuilds of all packages take place when gfortran is upgraded, but given > that on RHEL 5.3 there are two versions of gfortran (the default 4.1 > series and the tech preview, gcc43-gfortran, to be updated to > gcc44-gfortran in 5.4), this might have an effect. That doesn't necessarily call for a versionned directory for %_fmoddir. The %_fmoddir of the main compiler may still not be versionned. It calls for a specific subdirectory for gcc43-gfortran .mod files, though normally it should not be used by EPEL/RHEL packages. But this is not really needed for packaging, it is something users could even set on their own -- unless some packages require the tech preview, in that case they should not use _fmoddir anyway. -- Pat -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
