Hi,
AFAIK Fedora packages should not use weak dependencies (Recommends and so on). What's the recommended usage of them ?
Is there any plan to update Packaging Guidelines on this topic ?
For instance: for scilab I split scilab binary and help to reduce the size of the main package. The help package is installed on demand using packagekit.
Should scilab "recommend" or "suggest" scilab-help ?

Hi all,
Rpm 4.12 alpha just got released: http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-announce/2014-June/000045.html
The plan is to update rawhide to this shiny new version first thing on Monday morning and babysit as needed (ie the usual drill), but if you're feeling bored over the weekend or its as rainy wherever you live as it is in here now, and you're feeling a little bit brave, give it a spin in the meanwhile:
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/pmatilai/rpm-snapshot/
The copr packages are for rawhide only and should be very close to what goes into rawhide on Monday. If you're dying to test but not willing to rawhide all the way, they can be used on F20 too if you
1) install perl-generators from rawhide
2) remove rpm-python3 package before updating
As the announcement says, there are some rough edges still (as in, there's a reason its alpha). I run it on my systems and it's not expected to eat anybody (or their systems) alive, but do pay attention...
Bug reports and other feedback welcome.
