I don't really have a solution here, but I'd be interested in looking at this problem. For example, most* [1] packages in the Rust stack will have (and should! have) the same versions across all supported Fedora branches. For any Rust packages that I push updates for, I update them right away across all branches, and that works very well to prevent me from forgetting things. However, any "newcomers" (or contributors who are more easily distracted than me) will often mess that up, making it hard for me (main Rust stack maintainer right now) to keep things aligned when I update other packages. [1]: some package sets contain non-self-contained breaking changes, for example the latest gtk-rs bindings are only available on Fedora 35+ Fabio _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
