Maybe I am misunderstanding it, but this is the scenario this brings up: Say I have a package which has now required NodeJS 10.x so I need to put that as a requirement to fix a bug. In my mind, I am not replacing Nodejs because it isn't my package.. it is just something that the OS is providing. I put in the Requires and fix my problem.. To the user, that causes a problem because it then replaces their Nodejs-8 they may have been using for some other app. What is going to warn me/stop me that I should not have done that before the package gets into updates? -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XNWZOQPYOTE36EPILHAVQGYJ2AGMM3F7/
