Please note that above Policy section covers only the functionality of that packaging hint, not its suitability. It is my understanding that both that specific use of Conflicts and the use of alternatives is only acceptable for executables providing same or at least largely overlapping) ABI. Do gitsome and gh provide same or quite similar ABI? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
