(puts on a helmet) ... Recommends and Suggests? We really should have a way for Yum and Packagekit to say "Hey, if you're installing that, maybe you also want this?". A -devel package and its corresponding -doc package should recommend each other for example. They shouldn't require each other, because then they could just as well be the same package, but usually you want to install them together and it would be helpful to at least notify users who install the -devel package that the -doc package also exists. Another example is a database server and its command line client, which you often but not always want to install together. The server should recommend the client, while the client might only suggest the server. A third example is graphical administration tools for some daemon that are in a separate package so that the daemon can be installed without pulling in half a desktop environment. In this case the daemon should suggest the tools, but perhaps not recommend them. Björn Persson
