Fwd: Re: Roadmap for Mono packages in Fedora ?

[Vít Ondruch]

Actually, rereading this and my reply and Jaroslav's reply, I am not
sure anymore what do you mean by "shouldn't conflict with base system".
In my reply, I was thinking in a way that in Fedora, there is lets say
rubygem-minitest-5.3.1-2.fc21 but in Playground, there can be
rubygem-minitest-4.7.5-26.fc21. They don't conflict on filesystem, you
can even install them like:

    # dnf install 'rubygem-minitest < 5'

Unfortunatelly DNF/YUM handles them as an update, so:

    # dnf install 'rubygem-minitest > 5'

wipes the old version and in this sense they are "conflicting".

P.S. Actually, as you can play with the rubygem-minitest in Fedora as I
did on my F21, since there are available both versions I mentioned above ;)
