Can't you name the package backuppc4 so they can have overlapping life
spans and updates? Seems safer than putting a same-named package in
a different repo where a future update will probably accidentally pull
in some other same-named package and clobber the one you wanted to
keep.
I could create a new package but that would require a package review and even after all the work I've done cleaning up the package after taking over maintenance on it I'm doubtful it would pass the current packaging guidelines.
In either case the end user would be required to enable the Fedora EPEL repository, it's not much more of a hurdle to install my COPR for it. Additionally an update sits in updates-testing for two weeks before it can be pushed to stable which means there would be a significant delay between a new release and the end user getting it. Maybe after development stabilizes a bit more it may be worth going through the effort.
Thanks,
Richard
