I have a somewhat bizarre dependency question.
Preambule:
python-ctypes (currently under review) allows python programs to
directly interact with low-level libraries without having to provide
bindings. This is pretty neat. Not sure how sane, but pretty neat.
Problem:
python-tidy uses python-ctypes to interact with libtidy. I'm pretty
sure that python-tidy still requires the libtidy API to remain the
same, so ultimately it still requires libtidy-0.99.so.0. If it
didn't use python-ctypes and linked directly to libtidy, RPM would
have automatically pulled in a dependency on libtidy-0.99.so.0
Question:
Should I do:
Requires: libtidy (wrong, since it still needs a specific version)
Requires: libtidy = 0.99 (works, but 0.99.1 ought to still be valid)
Requires: libtidy-0.99.so.0 (best, but ugliest)
What does esteemed public think?
