--- Comment #5 from Michel Alexandre Salim michel+fdr@sylvestre.me 2011-09-09 05:22:26 EDT --- I'm not sure, and I'm fine with both naming schemes. I have the impression (I could be mistaken, though) that "compat-" indicates that an older version of the software is being packaged, while the lack of it indicates that it's a newer version?
Version suffix only: ==================== python3 (newer than the default python 2.x) python26 (for RHEL; newer than stock Python)
compat- + version suffix: ========================= compat-*gcc* -- older versions of the GCC compiler suite compat-db* -- older Berkeley DB versions compat-libstdc++ compat-readline5
but then again, as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Multiple_packages_w...
older openssl versions are packaged without the compat- prefix. So I'll probably rename this to just libgee06 -- could you review the package as is, with the rename coming later, or should I rename now?
