Description Ville Skyttä 2006-05-31 06:49:46 UTC
There are newer versions of utrac in older distro branches:

  3: 0:0.3.0-7.fc3
  4: 0:0.3.0-6.fc4
  5: 0:0.3.0-6.fc5
  6: 0:0.3.0-6.fc6

The FC-3 one is newer than the others.

Comment 1 Alain Portal 2006-05-31 07:46:55 UTC
This is not a newer version in FC3 branch.
0.3.0-7 is the same than 0.3.0-6.
I need to increase release tag because I made a mistake when I tagged the FC-3 
branch. I tagged the branch with wrong spec file and I didn't succeed to 
untag.

Do I have to increase release on all the others branchs?

%changelog
* Thu May 18 2006 Alain Portal <aportal[AT]univ-montp2[DOT]fr> 0.3.0-7
  - Increase release to fix a cvs error.

Yes it is, as far as rpm is concerned.

Again, please look take a look at this post for instructions how to do that
without breaking the upgrade path:

If you think the current broken upgrade path should be fixed, then yes. 
Generally such things should be fixed (possibly different dependencies, compiler
security features etc).  I know nothing about utrac, so I can't tell what's the
case here, but again, see the above mailing list link how fixing old distro
versions can be done so that all newer ones do not require a rebuild.  (You
can't use that any more in this case, it has to be done beforehand, when making
the fix for the old branch.)
