Let's go with the latter. Please explicitely BR the -prof and -doc packages where you have ghc-*-devel BR'd. (01.58.36) ( juhp) loupgaroublond: hmm (01.59.36) ( juhp) sounds "complicated" :) (02.00.09) ( juhp) if you're going to make -devel require -prof and -doc then might as well not subpackage ;) (02.00.49) ( juhp) we also do it for BuildRequires where it counts (02.01.20) ( juhp) probably we should just drop the switches? (03.00.20) :: ritek (n=eduardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) has quit ("������") (09.54.24) ( loupgaroublond) nah, just the issue is to make sure packages build properly, either that or we have to explicitly require all the appropriate 'non devel' packages in a 'devel' situation (09.56.50) ( juhp) yeah in fact most of the subpackaging is pain (09.57.10) ( juhp) I am still tempted to unsubpackage doc (09.57.42) ( juhp) loupgaroublond: but i don't get it: if -devel requires -prof and -doc then how does subpackaging help you? (10.00.57) ( loupgaroublond) because -devel is only supposed to contain the bits in the shared libs necessary to compile other packages (10.01.03) ( loupgaroublond) the ghc-foo contains the shared libs (10.01.14) ( loupgaroublond) the *-doc has the haddock stuff, and the -prof has the profiling extras (10.01.55) ( loupgaroublond) but if you install the -devel package, we're assuming you need all those other bits too (10.04.57) ( juhp) why? (10.05.10) ( juhp) so then we don't need subpackages (10.05.21) ( juhp) everything should just be in -devel (10.07.35) ( loupgaroublond) because sometimes you don't want devel? (10.07.57) ( loupgaroublond) or i'll just tell jochem to include the -prof and -doc dependencies (10.08.20) ( loupgaroublond) anyways, it's a thought (10.08.25) ( loupgaroublond) there's more than one way to skin a cat though (10.11.40) ( juhp) maybe I am missing some context -- 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
