Summary: Review Request: smart -- Next generation package handling tool https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175438 ------- Additional Comments From enrico.scholz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-02-25 07:00 EST ------- > smart-update requires sudo >= 1.6.8 due to use of "sudo -i". Can't > the -i be just dropped? That would make things work with RHEL4. Does this sudo support the '-H' flag? >> 1. smart >> 2. gtk2 >> installation sequence (which would be possible without the Requires(post)). > >Please demonstrate how that sequence would be possible without it. E.g. a new package like | Name: ncgl | Summary: A new, cool, libGL.so implementation | # We need smart to download the firmware, and users want a GUI | Requires: smart-gui-gtk will create a circular dep like xorg-x11-libs -> libGL.so -> smart-gui-gtk -> gtk2 ^ (ncgl wins) | `-------------------------------------------' It is not specified whether smart-gui-gtk or gtk2 will be installed first. Such an 'ncgl' package does not exist in Fedora Extras currently, but: * could be added in the future; I do not have the time to investigate all possible circular deps when a new package gets added * could be added by a third party repository. E.g. a well known one provides 'ati-fglrx' which wins against the default xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL That's why, I prefer to prevent such undetermined situations with tagged Requires(...). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
