4.5.8 is the latest vers. spec file has 4.2.1 so its outdated a bit…
not too sure exactly how OM does the package builds. (I haven’t got around to reading about packaging yet been busy with other stuff) but I am guessing the spec files need ver# bumped up and the build system to rerun it?
i am guessing the build server reports where build is failing? i can see how it could be a nightmare if you end up with a package needed x version and to get that x version having to update 10 other things which leads to greater chance at overall system breakage.
curious if the newest version will build (4.5.8 vs 4.2.1)
if i get time at some point I do want to read up on the OM packaging system/how-to etc to see if I can’t figure some of this stuff out just been so busy as of late.
Totally depends on the changes. If there are no new dependencies and it still works with the Python provided by OM, then it could just be to bump the version.
I maintained Electrum[1] for Fedora Linux for many years, sometimes the upgrade was a one-liner.
