Do we have to live with the bug for the rest of the life time of the base (=platform)? Or do we break this rule and replace the broken package with a patched one?
If the second one is the answer, do we know how it will affect packages whose build script does run-time checks (i.e. every ./configure script) to tune compile-time options? More strictly speaking, will we be adding new features into the same stream of the base module? I guess we won't. Otherwise we have to update the frozen base-* packages accordingly to make the new features available at build-time of packages that want to use the new features. -- Petr _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
