Summary: Merge Review: net-snmp https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226192 ------- Additional Comments From tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx 2007-02-21 15:48 EST ------- The problem with executable documentation is that it often creates dependencies which should not be there. For example, the /usr/bin/perl dependency comes from the documentation. This package does depend on libperl.so so it turns out that this doesn't happen to be dependency bloat, but if someone ever decided to split off a perl-libs package then you'd be needlessly pulling in the Perl interpreter. Still, there's no guideline in place against You could always skip the test suite on s390 using %ifarch, if you think there's real benefit to running it. Upgrades certainly aren't supported from RHEL2.1 to RHEL5 (or obviously any Fedora release) so nobody could argue that as a reason to keep the Obsoletes around. I do wish I could help with patches, but unfortunately I know little of the internals of this piece of software and there are something like 900 more core packages that need reviewing. If I have the time I will try to assist in at least fixing the specfile issues. -- 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
