There are a lot of interpretations about how exactly a suggestion should work. I'm wondering (just to make everything more complex), how to cope with suggestions which depend on the presence of two or more packages. For example: - webbrowser - pdfviewer - pdfviewerplugin4webbrowser : Requires webbrowser,pdfviewer I install webbrowser. Should the plugin be suggested? Reasonably, no. Then, I install pdfviewer. Should the plugin be suggested? Reasonably, yes. How do you handle this? Maybe a sort of "Enhances:" tag. - pdfviewerplugin4webbrowser : Requires webbrowser,pdfviewer, Enhances webbrowser This means, if you have the webbrowser, the plugin could be useful, but it requires something else (pdfviewer), so you (user or rpm/yum) have to decide, but, at least, you have all the necessary info. Having a "yum list suggestions" would be great for all this kind of "x4y-plugin" things, but it is certainly quite complicated to agree on the implementation (and then default policies). Just my two (euro)cents. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
