I agree, but I think the approach possibly has merit with a tweak. How about gnome-panel is renamed gnome-panel-legacy , gnome-shell obsoletes gnome-panel and requires gnome-panel-legacy ? I think that way you'd get gnome-shell on upgrade but at least would be able to remove it, and it's at least a _more_ correct description of the relationships. (Side note: I think we might all have found things rather easier if we used a meta-package approach rather than comps; for me, one thing this discussion exposes is that things are a lot harder because comps - obviously - isn't considered by yum. If we had a 'task-gnome' metapackage which expressed what packages are required for the desired GNOME desktop experience, it'd make things a lot easier, because that could require gnome-shell , but you could always remove the task-gnome metapackage if you wanted to...people who didn't fiddle with anything would get gnome-shell on upgrade, people who fiddle with things get to keep both pieces.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
