This means that an app compiled with GTK+ 3.0 or 3.2 or 3.4 will continue to work with GTK+ 3.5. Barring any bugs, of course. Also, GTK+ 3.x releases are not parallel installable, so installing the gtk3-3.5.2 package would replace the gtk3-3.4.3 package that's in F17. -- Kalev -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
