I repeat again what I already wrote when this was initially announced, because it was ignored: I do not see why we need to patch each and every application for this. Since the library is at least API-compatible (not sure about the ABI), libidn2- devel should have Obsoletes and Provides for libidn-devel and symlinks libidn.so → libidn2.so and idn.h → idn2.h. Then all that is needed in application packages is a rebuild. Changing one package scales much better than changing all other packages. In addition, the completely unnecessary changes to dependent packages can cause regressions such as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1479146 Kevin Kofler _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
