I have to say, I didn't realize that the RPM format was being changed in a backwards-incompatible way. I don't see that mentioned ONCE in the change proposal, and that's a very large thing to miss. I think that alone is enough to kill any such proposal until the compatible versions of RPM are in widespread use. It has wide-ranging impact - we still have "rpmbuild-md5" for back compat for example (although that could probably be retired now; think EPEL 5 was that last thing that needed it?). That's needed for package developers working on multiple releases/versions; there'd need to be another back-compat rpmbuild (at least), for example for running on a desktop of Fedora 33 but working on a package for EPEL 7. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
