Nevermind, this is 0.9, I am working on an actually 0.8 package.

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2011-03-11 21:05:34 UTC

Only notable changes are disabling the gtk-doc and a s/%{name}/NetworkManager/ in a ton of places.

I haven't tested this, doing so now.

Comment 4 Colin Walters 2011-03-13 18:22:40 UTC

I made a git repository with empty RPM packages simulating the situation here.

http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=walters/public_git/testpkgs.git;a=summary

Basically, f14/nm.spec should mirror NetworkManager from Fedora 14.  Then f15/ has the split packages.  I've verified that this works:

make
yum install f14/nm.rpm  # 
yum install f15/nm08.rpm # replaces f14 NM
yum install f15/nm.rpm  # replaces nm08

What still needs analysis here is whether yum will if you're running the KDE fork, know to install nm08 on upgrade.  I think explicit Requires may need to be added somewhere there.

Comment 5 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2011-03-16 19:18:00 UTC

If this package proves necessary, it would need to be parallel installable with the NetworkManager package.  Not sure what the requirements of how it runs in such a situation would need to be.

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-26 18:39:20 UTC

Looks like we don't need this package, Dan Williams has added enough NM 0.8 compatibility for the KDE Plasma applet/widget to run to F15's NM 0.9 builds.
