Description of problem:
f23-backgrounds-* should obsolete f22-backgrounds-*

I really don't understand why this is not done. Why should I kept f22-backgrounds-* on my system. Or better, why are the packages renamed on the first place?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q desktop-backgrounds-gnome
desktop-backgrounds-gnome-23.0.0-1.fc24.noarch

They are different set of wallpapers, user should be able to install either of them, if you use them, they should not be replaced when you update/upgrade. Because we abandoned release names they are named less then elegant which probably causes this confusion you are showing. :(

The thing is that when I install F23, I'll get just f23-backgrounds-* but when I upgrade, then I have f23-backgrounds-* as well as f22-backgrounds-* on my system. I can't see why I should have both of them installed.

TBH, I am using just default background and I don't even care where it comes from.

Moreover, the "dnf autoremove" wants immediately to remove them (and that is correct IMO).

I don't really want to end up with f[1..Infinite]-background-* packages on my system.

Comment 3 Martin Sourada 2015-08-15 12:19:24 UTC

Upgrade will never be the same as clean install. I understand what you'd like, but I fear it being in direct conflict with the idea of how upgrades should work. I mean, defaults are (or at least should be) meant for new users, not existing users and f(n+1)-background* are not upgrades of f(n)-background*. They are different set of images, they are *not* intended to replace each other, just supply a new default. What prevents you from removing f(n-1)-background* after upgrade manually?

Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2015-08-17 07:40:40 UTC

This is not upgrade, but Rawhide. Moreover, "dnf autoremove" will immediately try to remove the old backgrounds anyway, so I don't understand what is the point of keeping them on the system or versioning them in this way.

Comment 5 Martin Sourada 2015-08-17 08:51:48 UTC

Rawhide is different story altogether...

Anyway, dnf autoremove will remove it because the package gets installed as *a default* wallpaper by desktop-backgrounds and which is the default changes each release. If we replaced it, instead of creating a new one each release, there wouldn't be a way for current users of the background to keep it (unless downloading the images outside of the whole rpm system).
