Hi
Get ship a working licensecheck again in rawhide (stuck at v3.0.39 due
to later versions requiring a non-free library), I need to temporarily
downgrade perl-Regexp-Pattern-License, which was since updated to a
version which isn't compatible with licensecheck-3.0.39 anymore. This is
a temporary thing, as upstream will look at removing the non-free
dependency in future versions [1].
As the upstream maintainer mentioned in [1], in debian they do temporary
rollbacks by specifying
Version: <version>+really.<actualversion>
in my case of perl-Regexp-Pattern-License, that would mean
%global realversion 3.1.99
Version: 3.2.0+really.%{realversion}
Release: 1%{?dist}
i.e. perl-Regexp-Pattern-License-3.2.0+really.3.1.99-1 [2]. Is this
approach permissible? (Obvious alternative would be an Epoch bump, which
I'd rather avoid, or patching licensecheck to remove the non-free
dependency, which however results in some deficiencies, see [1]).
Thanks
Sandro
