Bug ID: 2217968 Summary: Review Request: tbb2020.3 - Create compatibility package for tbb2020.3 Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Reporter: codonell@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tbb/raw/rawhide/f/tbb.spec SRPM URL: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/tbb/2020.3/17.fc39/src/tbb-2020... Description: Create a compat package for legacy tbb. Fedora Account System Username: trodgers
As part of the process of modernizing TBB in Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F39ModernizeTBB
We need to create a compat tbb package e.g. tbb2020.3 which is going to be used by existing applications.
The existing tbb will move forward with the newer OneTBB API.
I'm filling this on behalf of Thomas Rodgers to start the ball rolling to create the tbb2020.3 repository.
This meets the Package Review Process exception: ~~~ The package is being created so that multiple versions of the same package can coexist in the distribution (or coexist between EPEL and RHEL). The package MUST be properly named according to the naming guidelines and MUST NOT conflict with all other versions of the same package. ~~~
Likewise for naming the package: ~~~ Version numbers used in compat libraries do not need to omit the dot . or change it into a dash - (see Multiple packages with the same base name for more info on this case). ~~~ So we use the "2020.3" version in the name as "tbb2020.3"
If we need a tbb2020.3.spec and srpm to create the repo then can make that available, but making the initial import be based on tbb lets us have a record of the evolving changes from tbb onwards.
