Hi all
In the new PackageNamingGuidelines, there is nothing about epochs. What is the new Extras policy regarding Epochs ? New packages should be created without Epochs, but what about Fedora.us imported packages ? Should I drop Epoch in the next releases ? Should I do it only for the devel branch ?
1. Look on the fedora-packaging list for the discussion 2. my guess is: a. if the fedora.us package had a non-zero epoch it needs to be maintained - just so users have an upgrade path b. if the fedora.us package had an Epoch: 0 drop it and remove %{epoch} from anyplace you have it in ver strings.
I'm cc'ing the packaging list to see if that seems right to them. -sv
