Reviewing a package with an rpmfusion dependency

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

 



I was just looking at reviewing this package:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1684950

It is a Go wrapper around ffprobe, which is in the ffmpeg package,
which is in rpmfusion-free.  The package can be built without ffprobe,
but cannot be used without it.  The spec file contains this:

# We can't have a hard dependency because patents
Recommends:     ffmpeg

Really, this package should have "Requires: ffmpeg", because it cannot
be used at all without ffprobe.  So I think this package should not be
in Fedora, but in rpmfusion instead, and that the review request
should be denied.

Thoughts?
