--- Comment #7 from Clement Verna <cve...@tutanota.com> --- > I did not get to comment about this, but note that this package was retired > because it is dead upstream.

I do agree, it is not ideal unfortunately, this package provides the backbone of fedora-packages (search engine). I could not see any easy way to replace it. There are talks about a rewrite of packages, but I don't see this happening soon. So it will be useful to have this package until we manage to remove this dependency from fedora-packages. > Now, to the package: > > - All your package Requires and BRs should be versioned. For example, > > BuildRequires: python-setuptools > should be > BuildRequires: python2-setuptools > I thought I had changed that. I will update the spec file. > According to the commits in upstream SVN, they never really released version > 0.6.0. The 0.6.0 version variable was set in __setup__.py in SVN commit 565. > Check the author's note: > > "Bump version to 0.6.0 - release won't be for a little while yet, but this > allows me to test the version for backward compatibility" > > 0.6.0-0.1.svn624 was the first Fedora package, the release tag reads > 0.1.svn624. > > It reads 0.1 because the packager wanted to show that this was a > pre-release, meaning that the author had not had released this version of > the package yet, and it was being shipped anyway.

I went through the version guideline one more time and it is clearer for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
