how else would you suggest to backport a new version of a package which
wasn't
in F9 final to F8 updates? Of course dist-f9-updates should get the same
update, but that's all we can do, we can't magically go back in time and
change
what was released with F9 final!
No, that should never happen.
Consider the situation where:
F8: pkg-1.fc8
F9 (original): pkg-1.fc9
To put a fix in F8, you version it pkg-1.fc8.1 *not* pkg-2.fc8.
I don't recall exactly where, but this is somewhere in the wiki area on
packaging.
