We need to fix this rather than trying > to workaround it (also given that proposed workaround won't work). Maybe I don't understand what you're saying. The problem Ankur mentioned is because he's trying to make one package supplement another, and that is only processed if that other package is updated. But here, putting it in the release package would make that release package be updated (by tautology -- an update is an update), and so the Recommends would be processed when people get that update. And if PackageKit or gnome-software is installed, they'd get the other-repo-appstream package pulled in too, right? (I guess that could also be "Recommends: other-repo-appstream if appstream".) Sure, it'd be semantically nicer to have other-repo-appstream have a supplements relationship with the fedora appstream package in the package directly, but I don't think that having the release package recommend it is semantically wrong, either, so I don't think it's right to call this a "workaround", exactly. It's a different way to do the same thing which, hey, should work, right? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
