Summary: Merge Review: bzip2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225633 ------- Additional Comments From bugs.michael@xxxxxxx 2007-02-08 08:18 EST ------- > check if the -devel package needs to Require the main package, > and if so, change it to Requires: bzip2 = %{version}-%{release} > - Remove the Requires: bzip2-libs = %{version} The -devel packages does NOT need the "main package", but the bzip2-libs package (comment #2): Requires: bzip2-libs = %{version}-%{release} in the -devel package. The %release in there makes sure that -devel and -libs package are in sync always (think run-time bug-fixes + %changelog of both packages), also for a "yum install bzip2-devel" when an older bzip2-libs is installed already. Without the strict dependency it would be possible to install the latest bzip2-devel while keeping an older bzip2-libs which e.g. has bugs. The main package depends on the -libs package through an automatic dependency on "libbz2.so.1", created by rpmbuild. If there is reason to not trust the accuracy of that dependency, an explicit dependency on a specific package %version-%release would be needed. The simple "Requires: bzip2-libs = 1.0.4" does not add any value except that it doesn't trust an automatic upgrade from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
