Hi

Get ship a working licensecheck again in rawhide (stuck at v3.0.39 due to later versions requiring a non-free library), I need to temporarily downgrade perl-Regexp-Pattern-License, which was since updated to a version which isn't compatible with licensecheck-3.0.39 anymore. This is a temporary thing, as upstream will look at removing the non-free dependency in future versions [1].

As the upstream maintainer mentioned in [1], in debian they do temporary rollbacks by specifying

Version: <version>+really.<actualversion>

in my case of perl-Regexp-Pattern-License, that would mean

%global realversion 3.1.99
Version:        3.2.0+really.%{realversion}
Release:        1%{?dist}

i.e. perl-Regexp-Pattern-License-3.2.0+really.3.1.99-1 [2]. Is this approach permissible? (Obvious alternative would be an Epoch bump, which I'd rather avoid, or patching licensecheck to remove the non-free dependency, which however results in some deficiencies, see [1]).

Thanks
Sandro
