I think it's about time to get rid of the --tollef default for F-20, upstream will seemingly be dropping it soon anyway.

Comment 1 Golo Fuchert 2013-07-24 08:36:20 UTC

Personally, I don't have any strong feelings for the tollef default. It helped to get parallel packaged for Fedora back then [1]. The change may break stuff for some users, but since upstream will drop this feature anyway, it is not really our fault. So, I will make the change for f20 asap.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-09-16 14:44:06 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
Changing version to '20'.

Comment 3 Golo Fuchert 2014-01-19 22:46:05 UTC

Unfortunately I couldn't get this done before the release of f20 due to some stuff outside of fedora. I don't want to push this as an update, since the drop of the --tollef default may brake user scripts . The change is done in rawhide, however, and will be part of f21+. Hence, no --tollef in f21+! Sorry for the delay.
