tcpdump and elm questions.

[Christian Pearce]

tcpdump:

The specs are exactly the same except for the release has a different distro version.
 Is this what is meant by Fedora Legact Policy for combining src.rpm's into one spec?
 Is this what we are going to do for Fedora Legacy?  Or are we literally going to
have one package with one release?  And drop the distro version from the release.

This spec also has the epoch value of 14.  What are the implications of epoch?

elm:

What ever decision that is made for tcpdump should be applied to elm as well.  We
have the same version of the code, 7.3 is one release newer and the changelog said it
was a rebuild.

All,

We need some concensus on this issue, I believe these packages will shape policy.

If no one speaks up I am going to recommend and work with Johnny on creating three
src rpms for tcpdump with .spec virtually the same.  Increasing the last number on
the release and adding legacy.  Leaving the epoch value the same.  (I don't know what
to do there)

I will recommend we have two specs for 7.2 and 7.3 of elm as well, but using the same
version of the .spec similiar to what Red Hat has done in the past with tcpdump.

I am still working on verifying the tcpdump patch.  I wonder if progeny released
anything for tcpdump yet.  I was told they did cvs and ethereal.
