Spec URL: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/queue/compat-guichan07.spec SRPM URL: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/queue/compat-guichan07-0.7.1-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: Compatibility packages for guichan-0.7.1 This is primarily a rename of the current guichan-0.7.1 package. The purpose of the rename is so that guichan can be upgraded to 0.8.1 while not breaking compatibility with existing packages that link against guichan-0.7.1. This compat- package will only be built for F-9. F-10 and later already contain the more recent guichan-0.8.1.
I think there is no need to do major version bumps of guichan within F-9 release. Or it is this still actual?
I would prefer not as well, however... The current version of manaworld is broken in F-9, due to incompatibilities with the central manaworld game servers. But in order to upgrade manaworld, guichan also needs to be updated. The last time I checked, there were only 3 packages that used guichan: sear, manaworld, and ballz. * sear is already using an older compat-guichan-05 package * ballz is already using the latest guichan in rawhide, and should not be a problem rebuilding against guichan-0.8.1, or just using compat-guichan07 * manaworld upgrade requires guichan 0.8.1 But since there may be end-user packages that have been built against guichan0.7, it is better to introduce the short-lived compat package instead of risking breaking end-user packages.
Well, this seem will work only for people that are built their packages but not simply built againt guichan, as in latter case there will be no dep preventing update from guichan-0.7 to guichan-0.8.

You seem still need to follow the EOL procedure for devel branch.
