Policy regarding redundant dependencies

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

 



Hello,

when packaging a C/C++ program, the rpm automatic dependency feature
usually works well for shared libraries.

That mean when program 'bar' needs libfoo-devel at build time it's
sufficient to add

    BuildRequires: libfoo-devel

and I can omit

    Requires: libfoo

because rpm automatically adds something like:

    libfoo.so.1()(64bit)

Of course, I could still add a superfluous

    Requires: libfoo

and then the resulting binary package would contain a redundant
dependency like this:

    libfoo
    libfoo.so.1()(64bit)

Has Fedora a policy against such redundant dependencies?

Best regards
Georg
