Have you looked at the source tarballs for the individual components now? for example xf86-input-mouse-X11R7.0-1.0.3.1.tar.bz2 the individual components are getting release numbers which a seperate from the global release. In the case of the mouse package that release is 1.0.3.x And thats sort of the point of going modular. It doesn't really matter which pieces ship officially as part of X11R7, each modular piece has its own update cycle and if required an update for specific pieces like individual driver tarballs can be updated individually regardless of what version of the tarball is in X11R7.whatever. If FC ships some components that match the versions in X11R7 and some versions which are updates beyond whats in X11R7. Why is it appropriate to brand all these things as X11R7? All you do is complicate the evr calculation that rpm has to do when calculating updates. This isnt very different than how the pieces of the gnome desktop are packages. Gnome might be moving towards a global "2.14" release but individual pieces have their own versioning, the atk package for example. -jef -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
