Description Ville Skyttä 2005-08-09 15:30:30 UTC
tidy and tidy-devel in devel don't provide libtidy or libtidy-devel, which  
will break existing packages using them.  At the very least, the -devel  
Provides should be added.  And fully versioned, as usual. 
  
(There's also one commented %{epoch} in the specfile to get rid of, while at 
it.)

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2005-08-09 15:38:55 UTC
What existing packages refer to libtidy/libtidy-devel?

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2005-08-09 15:53:25 UTC
For example my local mod_tidy package.  
  
But that's not the point, there's no way we can know what refers to it outside  
Extras.  The point is that incompatible packaging changes shouldn't be made  
without _very_ strong reasons, and there are no such ones in this package.  
  
If you insist on getting rid of libtidy*, do it after a transition period,  
IMO in FC-6 it would be ok'ish to drop the Provides. 

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2005-08-09 15:56:59 UTC
Fair enough.
