Hmm, so we cannot release yast2.rpm as maintenance update without releasing also yast2-core?
Sound like a good reason to adapt yast2 versioning to all other packages of the distribution, namely
- keep version fixed for a distribution, maintenance updates only increase the release.
If this rule is followed, dependencies on the version (without specifying a release) should be fine.
On the other hand this still doesn't solve the problem with binary-incompatible core (unless explicitly expressed a dependency on 'current' yast2-core.rpm or 'current' yast2.rpm in every single package). We currently use the YaST-versioning for expressing cross-package dependencies. Let's think about pros and cons of switching to some other versioning... Ideas, Examples? Lukas
