Biggest problem here, at least for now as i can see, are dependency
versions for those with their own scheme.
Now we can have
(build)requires >= %version
but with the new setup we would need to check each individual
framework for raised versions.
This might not be a big problem with one, two frameworks, but i guess
after a while, once the number of
those frameworks raises, it might become cumbersome.
Tarball path is not so problematic, but it was indeed simpler and
easier with every tar being consistent...


Cheers,
Hrvoje
