Unresolvable dependencies (aka "broken deps") are detected by AutoQA when submitting packages via bodhi. Repoclosure (from yum-utils) can check remote repositories for broken deps. But I'm not aware of any tool that tries to detect packaging mistakes, such as superfluous, dangerous or conflicting Requires/Provides pairs. It wouldn't be a simple script, because it would need to implement quite a lot to get it right. Also to avoid false positives. E.g. ld.so.conf parsing, rpath checking, handling of alternative packages which are permitted to provide the same stuff, exceptions such as libraries that don't set a versioned SONAME yet, ... If you're familiar with your package, you take a look at "rpm -qp --provides ..." and "... -requires" output once or twice a year. ;-) A brief plausibility check. Perhaps also a "repoquery --whatrequires code-editor" to check whether any other package in the repos is marked as depending on something provided by the "code-editor" package. -- 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
