Hi,

i am the owner of the package guayadeque, but the recent package for Fedora 21 guayadeque-0.3.7-4.svn1893.fc21
segfaults. All versions above guayadeque-0.3.6-19.svn1890.fc21 are buggy.

The problem is already disccussed: (but not fixed) at
http://guayadeque.org/index.php?p=/discussion/1822/guayadeque-stops-after-every-track

there exists already a bugreport:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151645

is it possible to delete all versions that are newer than 12.4 from the repo, or is there
another possibility to prevent that these buggy versions are used.

Thanks
Martin

It is possible to "go back a version" if you increment the "epoch."

A package with a higher epoch will always be considered newer, even if the version-release is lower.

The guidelines [1] discuss how this should be done, but it is generally a "last resort" for when the package cannot otherwise be fixed.

Does this help?
