Might you give some examples? With "similar" I meant https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/DistTag#Conditionals Another example, not a particulary good one since it is my package is gwget: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gwget/F-11/gwget.spec?view=markup The epiphany extension was broken and I had to disable it during the F12 mass rebuild. I was able to do this by changing 1 to 0 instead of commenting out large parts of the spec. > You should enable support for everything in the package in Fedora. I surely wont do this because I consider the "enable everything" policy one of the biggest mistakes in Fedora. It introduces long dependency chains, just look at totem or pidgim, that require evolution-data-server and all it's dependencies. Currently we are thinking about viewnior to replace gpicview and become the default image viewer of LXDE. Having a gconf dependency is a no-go there. -- 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
