Comment 2 Alexander Sosedkin 2026-03-04 16:56:43 UTC

Deferring the full review until later when it starts building.

Nothing caught my eye in a cursory review of the specfile, but in the meantime, here's a bike shed:
why nettle3.10? why not nettle3, nettle3-compat or compat-nettle3?

Comment 3 Daiki Ueno 2026-03-05 01:14:07 UTC

> why nettle3.10? why not nettle3, nettle3-compat or compat-nettle3?

Although it was a long ago and we no longer ship it, but there were soname bumps in nettle 3.4 and 3.6, so I thought it might make sense to be explicit that this compat package only supports nettle 3.10 ABI.

As for the compat prefix/suffix, I'm mostly following the convention of "openssl1.1" package introduced in bug 1879067, which was initially named "compat-openssl11".
