Hi there! I have a question about this review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889261 Is it ok to havearched BuildRequires? In my opinion they should NOT be arched, because of the reasons given in the comments of the bug. Cheers, Björn

Soft dependencies guidelines
by Miroslav Suchý 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Hi, rpm 4.12, which include soft dependencies landed in F21. Are there plan to reflect this in our current Packaging Guidelines? Or we will wait till this feature will be recognized by dnf, PackageKit and others? -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCE, RHCDS Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys

how to remove buggy packages from repo
by Martin Gansser 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi, i am the owner of the package guayadeque, but the recent package for Fedora 21 guayadeque-0.3.7-4.svn1893.fc21 segfaults. All versions above guayadeque-0.3.6-19.svn1890.fc21 are buggy. The problem is already disccussed: (but not fixed) at http://guayadeque.org/index.php?p=/discussion/1822/guayadeque-stops-after-e… there exists already a bugreport: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151645 is it possible to delete all versions that are newer than 12.4 from the repo, or is there another possibility to prevent that these buggy versions are used. Thanks Martin
