If this is correct is there any chance of adding these for
all who require updated packages to build against?

Not automatic atm. We may can find a solution together with the Fedora people.

But may I ask, why do you need these updates at all ?

Usually, all software what is compiled against the GA versions should work
with later updates. Is this not true in some cases on Fedora ?


The problem for F7 is that they introduced redland-devel and friends in
the update repository and they were not existing at all in the initial
F7 release.

Putting them into a subproject on obs seems to work ok though I've not
tried to pull the main package from my repository to see if it will use
the F7Updates redland instead of the one from the subproject... should
work.
