Hello, I am the upstream maintainer of a number of colour management packages including icc-profiles-openicc and new to this list. Due to the speciality of matters, I jump in here. Reason for my write: [colord] Add conflict on icc-profiles-openicc : https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20131209/1157165.html Problem: The above Conflict tag breaks several packages, which rely on icc-profiles-openicc, namely oyranos and depending graphics software. We have no bug reports upstream, or in openSUSE, where I maintain many colour management packages, nor see I such in Fedora in order to work upstream to fix anything. In the past I was able to fix several issues including those arrised by openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo and other distro packagers. The Conflict tag causes now uncertaincy to packagers and forces me to take from my development time on bug reports, finding out how packaging works in Fedora etc. Request: remove the RPM spec Conflict tag immediately as it misuses the GNOME requirement for colord to block Oyranos from Fedora without fixable reasoning. Bug reports: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069672 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1042655) Background: colord author Richard Hughes sees himself as a competitor to the elder Oyranos project, which helped paving the way for linux color management. Not sure why he continues to repeat FUD[1] all over the place regarding Oyranos. See the open bug as an example for that. But, as you might imagine, that feels unfriendly. kind regards and sorry for the noice Kai-Uwe -- www.oyranos.org [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
