What this means, IMO, is that we need to split out libpng12 as a
separate package. The current hack that I'm using (bundling 1.2 and 1.5
into a single SRPM) was never meant to be more than a very short-term
stopgap; I'm sure it violates all sorts of packaging guidelines.
Is there any way we can fast-track that? I see little value in going
through the normal package review pushups, when this is absolutely
nothing except a backwards-compatibility package --- it ought to be
exactly like the F16 libpng package. And I'd like to get it done
before the F18 branch.
Rather than working around the review process, just go ahead and make
the package, upload it somewhere, open a review ticket, and I'll review
it after lunch today. I'm familiar with that package, so it should be a
very quick review for me to complete, and the branching request should
be able to be processed today.
