[opensuse-packaging] Can I submit a package downgrade request?
Hi. Recently I sent a submit request with an updated version of Parcellite, a clipboard manager for LXDE. This version had some bugs and I updated to the latest svn revision that fixes most of them. But one remains an is very annoying: text selection is broken, you cannot select text in some programs because the selection is cleared immediately. I submitted a bug report upstream but the developer cannot reproduce the problem and so he cannot fix it. We're still in contact but I read that the package freeze will be soon and I don't like the idea of shipping a broken version of the program. So, can I submit the previous version of the program that worked fine?

Of course. For released products, just don't stepdown the "Version:" number (but do change the software - i.e. tarball/patches/etc. -, of course). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
