Whenever possible you should avoid file dependencies as they slow down dependency resolution and require the package manager to download file lists in addition to to regular dependency information. There are, however, times when other technical considerations outweigh these considerations. If the files you need are prone to moving between packages of different names, it can be useful to depend on those files directly. I found that a dependency on "setup" package is not common practice: # dnf repoquery --whatrequires setup|wc -l 19 -- WBR, Roman Tsisyk <roman@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
