It's not clear to me why rebuilds of dependencies are missing, but it seems some package maintainers don't respond, and the entire [co]-maintainer setup to do such rebuilds is lacking. > <rant> > Just for curiosity, what would I file an RFE against in order to fix > this sort of thing.

For multiple versions of some software to be installable in parallel, it would be necessary to resolve conflicts in the packages *and* rename either package, so the new one does not replace the older one. This can result in a lot of work, which isn't worth effort. Especially not if the old release suffers from vulnerabilities. You don't want to keep it. You want to replace it quickly. > And it would need some kind of package function to clean up > duplicate packages when they are no longer being used. Which would be simple, since RPM's "Obsoletes" could do that already. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
