I would say that bundling SQLite backend to main package is undesired solution. In such case I recommend - not to use virtual "Provodes/Requires: %{name}-db" - write some text named "README.Fedora", for example to inform that - BekBook needs one of the database backends - Currently Fedora supports SQLite and PostgreSQL - The admin has to choose either of them and install the choosed one by "yum install BekBook-db-<choosed backend>" by him/herself and add to the "%description" of BekBook package some sentence like "Please read README.Fedora" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
