A hierarchy of repositories. Fedora packagers and Livna packagers can try to coordinate their updates, but nevertheless Livna would usually rebuild packages against released Fedora updates (unless Livna started doing fragile things like building against Fedora Test Updates or the Fedora Extras needsign repo). In either case, there would be a window during which dependencies are broken until the two repos are in sync again. The window gets bigger when Livna releases an update in advance that breaks deps (e.g. the xine-lib-extras-nonfree in this thread), and when it takes an unknown time for Fedora rel-eng to release the corresponding update (e.g. (xine-lib). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Would it be nice if theres a program that'll check dependency problems and file conflicts across multiple repositories .. by checking the repository metadatas perhaps .. -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus -----------------------------------------------
