What of the dependencies have an upstream with a port to the new version of gpsd. If none of them do I think its a little pointless updating just for the sake of it if all dependant packages break. It the majority of them do support the new api then its more worthwhile. I presume this would be just for F-14/rawhide.

That's a dubious argument since many projects aren't very intimate with all of their upstreams :) I didn't even know gpsd development was active. Seems like competition from gypsy is a good thing! > vfrnav-0:0.4-1.fc13 Go ahead, I will fix up problems should they pop up.

gpsd update
I'd like to update the gpsd package to the latest version 2.94. If there will be no objections, probably sometimes next week. Unfortunately, there were non-trivial API changes since version 2.39 that break most of the dependent packages. The first version with the new API (2.90) was released more than a year ago, so I think the upstreams had enough time to make necessary changes and we shouldn't wait any longer. Packages that currently use libgps.so.18: qtgpsc-0:0.2.3-6.fc12 kdebase-workspace-0:4.4.2-5.fc14 vfrnav-0:0.4-1.fc13 gpsdrive-0:2.10-0.5.pre7.fc13 kdeedu-marble-libs-0:4.4.2-1.fc14 vifir-0:0.4-1.fc12 viking-0:0.9.9-1.fc12 Here is a gpsd srpm in case anyone wants to start preparing patches http://fedorapeople.org/~mlichvar/tmp/gpsd-2.94-1.fc14.src.rpm -- Miroslav Lichvar -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
