It certainly has a different soname, so yeah, we can have a -compat package. But that would still mean a ton of stuff busted for rebuilds while packages get fixed up. A few upstream packages already work with libnl2, and the delta between 2 and 3 is hugely smaller than from 1 to 3. repoquery --whatrequires libnl for F16 says: NetworkManager (fixed upstream) anaconda crda (wifi regulatory database) dropwatch hostapd (upstream works with libnl2) ipvsadm iw (upstream works with libnl2) keepalived kismet knemo libvirt lldpad netcf netlabel_tools powertop python-ethtool quota-nld sssd wimax wimax-tools wpa_supplicant (upstream works with libnl2) Dan -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
