I understand and respect the "not encouraged" to deploy several versions
of a same package.
Although technically it works like in the compat libs or many other
packages like opensslX and many others apps for legacy dependencies.
Therefore having two version of JVM or JDK for instance should never be
allowed from an RPM point of view? And we we would have to rely on using
"alternatives" to create symbolic links and stub config files?
Again "you can just do the thing if you try" and "it is not supported or is
against
Fedora's policy" is quite a different thing.
Sorry to insist but isn't up to the user/sysadmin to decide what to
install on the box? And be able to simply deploy concurrent versions of
libraries?
This is no longer an issue which should be talked on ruby-sig. Please
bring further discussion on devel or packaging list.
