Circular dependencies in RPM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I know I have probably been hiding under a Rock but can anyone help me 
understand Fedora's stance on circular dependencies within RPMs?

At least in the past I think circular dependencies have been kept to a minimum
as it can cause issues with rpm sorting: i.e. for two rpms A,B with a circular
dependency, in different transactions sometimes A goes before B and sometimes
B goes before A. 

In Fedora 20 just running rpm against the 1500 or so packages I have installed
on my Desktop I notice that there are 47 sets of "Strongly Connected Components";
basically 47 cases of a circular dependency.

Was there a point where this became more popular. I don't remember there being more
than a few circular deps for EL6 era rpms. 

Thanks,
Dusty
