And the really fun thing is that once the different versions are installable in parallel you could just.... have them in different packages. So SCLs aren't really an improvement over plain old packages, either. So it seems to me that modules are useful specifically in the "not parallel installable" case; they seem to be to simply be a framework for handling sets of mutually exclusive packages (and the combinatorial dependency explosion which results). Which I guess is reasonable, though I always thought they would be the last resort when you can't make two versions able to be installed in parallel. Instead it seems like they're being pushed as the default, which just seems backwards to me. - J< _______________________________________________ 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
