Unconvincing. Why? Because the game program pkg could require a specific version of the data pkg to achieve the same. If game version gets bumped, dep would break, since you would need to update data pkg, too. Game requires compatible data. So far so good. However, if the data pkg requires the game pkg (versioned! or else it would not be strict enough for your needs), this only increases the risk that you need to bump'n'rebuild the data pkg if the game version is increased without needing any changed data. It's a superfluous dependency that only tries to enhance "yum remove" a bit. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
