Description Ville Skyttä 2006-07-23 11:37:11 UTC
The version-release of rsnapshot in FE4 is newer than the one in FE5 and devel:

rsnapshot:
  4: 0:1.2.9-4.fc4 (FE4)
  5: 0:1.2.9-2.fc5 (FE5)
  6: 0:1.2.9-2.fc6 (FE6)

Fix: bump FE5 an devel to something >= 4%{?dist} and rebuild.

The FE4 bumps seem tho have been made without a changelog entry.  If you need to
fix something in an old distro branch, append a dot and a digit *after* %{?dist}
so that there's no need to rebuild everything for all newer branches too.

Comment 1 Chris Petersen 2006-07-23 17:55:08 UTC
Sorry, I got caught in the "make tag" nightmare where it creates the tag but
fails to build because of a not-checked-in file.  The fc4 bump was purely to
compensate for that.  Should be fixed now.

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2006-07-23 18:10:51 UTC
Sure, thanks, but in the future, if you need to similar things, the link in the
initial comment contains a recipe for doing it in a non-intrusive way (eg.
2%{?dist}.1 instead of 3%{?dist} in the old distro only).
