Description of problem: PPL 0.10 built for Fedora 9/10 but not available as update. (Was this intentional?) Backport of any extra fixes in rawhide also appreciated. I would like to package APRON (http://apron.cri.ensmp.fr/library/, in order to eventually package Frama-C), but APRON currently requires patches to its PPL interface that seem to match things that changed from PPL 0.9 to PPL 0.10. (However, it seems further changes to APRON's PPL interface to use PPL 0.10 are required, any help is welcome.)
Please see the discussion in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463742 If there is an agreement to push PPL 0.10 in any Fedora version I can do it immediately: all what is necessary is in place.

Didn't see that bug originally, oops. In retrospect I'm not sure if that was a cue for me to ask fedora-devel-list. I am still certainly interested in this being done. If you run the same command as suggested in that bug - repoquery --whatrequires libppl.so.6 libppl_c.so.0 you find that ppl still appears to be the only package which depends on these. Thus it still seems safe to upgrade. If there's anything else you would have me to do help get this upgraded, let me know - I'm still definitely interested in having it. (I would like to not force people to upgrade to use the tool I want to package that depends on ppl.)
I think you could state on the other bug report that there is request for PPL 0.10 in Fedora 9 and 10. As I said, if this is approved, it will be a matter of minutes for me to do what is required. Alternatively, you can download the RPMS from the PPL web site: http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/Download/ftp/releases/0.10/fedora/
If you want to update ppl to 0.10 on F-10/9, would you ask on fedora-devel-list first? (with noticing that - This introduces soname bump - Currently only subpackages of ppl require the libraries )
Well, it seems that no one complains, so I assume we can go.
For the record, the net result of the fedora-devel-list conversation was: Alan Dunn wrote: > I would like to use PPL 0.10 in packages for F9 and (more importantly) > F10, and have been directed to ask whether anyone else minds this > change.

In that case (and Alex Lancaster's repoquery confirmed it) there's no problem whatsoever with just upgrading it. > Upstream has merely to submit the change as an update (and would also > like to do so: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463742). Tell them to go ahead.
