The main issue with Obsoletes/Provides of crda is that if any user want to maintain a self compiled kernel < 4.15. Then this kernel will suddenly loose wireless support whereas it was previously working. This is also a problem if using various kernel version to bissect a wireless regression. What I would recommend instead is to : - have everything set for wireless-regdb to be installed by default in f29+ (comps,ks,package dependency). - eventually obsoletes/provides crda only on f29+ - for fedora < 29 have crda to require wireless-regdb, so current users will migrate to the new method. (that way they can even manually remove crda and keep wireless-regdb if they like to). This doesn't seem that complicated to handle as a transition that way. -- - Nicolas (kwizart) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/ZSJEE4E6RRPA2WTT5BXMY3Y5BCCCF7UV/
