Hello,

It would be nice to solve the issues raised in the merge reviews of
those basic packages. It is on hold since some months.

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225608 Robert Scheck
proposed to remove basesystem, have setup depend on filesystem, and
glibc depend on setup.

I think this is a good idea. Any feedback?

Hi Patrice.

I've written a comment in the bz as well, but i think the order should rather be:

basesystem
setup
filesystem

or, in case we decide to drop basesystem (i'm all for it btw, no reason to keep it hanging around for no reason):

glibc: Requires(Pre) filesystem
filesystem: Requires(Pre) setup

which would end up being:

setup
filesystem
glibc

In case we drop it though we need to add

  Obsoletes: basesystem-x-y
  Provides: basesystem-x-y

to filesystem in order to have a consistent behavior and a proper chain for updates, too.

Thoughts?
