[harald@faro harald]$ diff -u tcpdump-rawhide.spec tcpdump-7.3.spec [harald@faro harald]$ Of course they don't diff. That's why it's a bug -- they should vary in at least version number. The problem is that tcpdump-3.6.2-12 from beta2 and tcpdump-3.6.2-12 from rawhide were built in different environments, against different libraries, and potentially with different bugs. However, since the version number wasn't revved like it should have been for the rawhide build, you've now thrown out all ability to track bug reports by package version, since there are two packages being distributed with different bugs and the exact same package version.... See the big discussion about all this on the testers-list on the 15th, when it was noticed that several packages, including tcpdump, have this problem. $ rpm -qpi ~/tcpdump-3.6.2-12-rawhide.i386.rpm ... Build Date: Thu Feb 21 18:47:10 2002 ... $ rpm -qpi ~/tcpdump-3.6.2-12-beta.i386.rpm ... Build Date: Thu Feb 21 18:47:10 2002 so? ok... there was another version which got replaced recently... |
