>From what I have learned searching the web, it seems that using a single spec file to build one noarch subpackage and another arch-specific one in a single is impossible. Is that right, or I was misled? Assuming I was right in deducing so, I have questions regarding the packaging of MediaWiki. The package is mostly straight-forward PHP, but also includes a certain feature for handling mathematical formulas (that is turned off in the default configuration). That feature is implemented as a binary, and has dependencies on LaTeX, dvips, and ImageMagick, which have large dependencies themselves. I tried packaging the formula support as a subpackage, but I can't make the main package noarch and the -math subpackage arch-dependent. I have three choices: 1) Get along with an arch-independent RPM package marked as arch-dependent. 2) Forget subpackages and make them one RPM with unified dependencies. 3) Make these two different SPEC files. (This would create a burden on me for maintaining the two in sync, so I guess I should only do this if the other two options are unacceptable.) What do you think I should do? Or am I missing a fourth and better path? roozbeh -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
