I'd say "in rawhide or during Fedora upgrades". > * Default streams *MUST NOT* provide a binary RPM with the same > package name as an RPM in a default stream in the same release except > in the case of a transition from one to the other.footnote:[In this > situation, whichever has the highest NEVRA would win the depsolving > and could break the other module.] I guess "transition to another default module" is what is meant above. > * Multiple default streams *MUST NOT* provide the same binary package > names at runtime.footnote:[They *MAY* provide other well-known names > in the same manner as permitted for non-modular content.

This is redundant, already mentioned above[1]. Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPM Fusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles. -- from "Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan _______________________________________________ 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
