Well, * It's amazing how low Fedora's packaging QA is. * It's amazing to watch people resorting to rude and hostile attacks, when they don't understand their mistakes. a) This package's *.pc are simply plain broken. > Mamoru, I agree, in particular to the doc subpackage. boost-doc, gtkmm24-docs, > qt-doc are precedents. b) The are 100s of counter-examples (Not splitting out *-doc packages is the norm!) * In general *-doc packages don't make any sense on rpm based systems. It's a Debianism often inherited from Deb packages, because Debian's packaging doesn't have a counter part to rpm -U --excludedocs. * Exceptions are those cases a package contains "huge documents" where spitting them out into a separate noarch-package would provide "big savings" to a repository. Finally: MUSTFIX: c) This *-docs particular package is mere devel docs, => Requires: by *-devel. -- 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. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
