Hi,
I'm quvi's packager. I have a problem with F16. Here is the situation :
- F15 provides quvi (the libquvi, the scripts, and the executable file)
0.2.16.X : the "legacy" version, still maintained
- F16 provides quvi (the libquvi, the scripts, and the executable file)
0.2.19 : not maintained anymore. It has been replaced by libquvi 0.4.x
when F16 has been released
- rawhide provides libquvi 0.4.0, libquvi-scripts 0.4.2 and quvi 0.4.1,
3 different packages. : the new version, that has replaced 0.2.19 branche.
So now, F15 and rawhide both have a maintained version, but F16 provides
a quvi that is not maintained. Problems will appear because the websites
handeled by libquvi often change.
I thought at first to downgrade the F16 version, from 0.2.19 to 0.2.16
version, instead of backporting 0.4.x to F16 to not force a package
rebuild for dependancies, because of the package split. But 0.2.16,
0.2.19 and 0.4.x have different .so version, so a rebuild will be forced
in both cases.
There are 3 or 4 packages that need to be rebuilded. It has been done in
rawhide, with no problem (only one package needed a patch, provided by
upstream, to compile with libquvi 0.4).
My question is : what must I do ? backport 0.4.x ? downgrade to 0.2.16 ?
keep 0.2.19 ?
I can rebuild all the dependancies. I just need help to be sure of what
to do, check, etc .... I'm not really confortable with this situation.
Regards,
Fabien Nicoleau
