I'm in the process of packaging Zend Framework for Fedora [1] with direct help from Zend's developers, all issues pointed out by me could be fixed but still one is remaining: After separating all components requiring non-standard dependencies from the base package, three of them remain with dependencies unresolvable; one subpackage needs php-sqlite which has been deactivated in favor of php-pdo's sqlite support, another one depends on php-pecl-ibm_db2 no one has packaged yet and the last one depends on php-oci8 which cannot be provided at all because it is proprietary software. It can still perfectly make sense to provide these packages and let the user take of the deps himself but "official" Fedora support is impossible this way. How to handle them? Simply exclude from the build? Comment them out in the build so users can build their own package using the spec? Provide them with unresolvable Requires:s? Provide them without the Require:s? Add a README.Fedora explaining how to handle them? Couldn't find anything in the docs about it. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421241 - Alex
