The package is fully backwards compatible, so it would be OK to simply push the latest version to F31. But there isn't enough time to go through updates-testing. So I think we should ask people to install the package directly from koji: sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/rust-zram-generator/0.2.0~rc.1/1.fc32/`uname -p`/zram-generator-0.2.0~rc.1-1.fc32.`uname -p`.rpm Zbyszek _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
