Summary: Review Request: pygtksourceview - Python bindings for gtksourceview https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245597 ------- Additional Comments From toshio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-06-27 20:31 EST ------- Looking at what I suppose are the involved files (no way to tell for sure, since there is no package posted to look at) it looks like gtksourceview1 *is* a better name. You are planning to package gtksourceview1 and gtksourceview1-devel so that apps can build, correct? This situation is more akin to gtk+ vs gtk2 than compat-libstc++. That aside, this isn't about the compat-* name having "secret requirements". It's about the nature of packaging two separate versions of a library and installing them onto one system. For gtksourceview which (as I look at the gtksourceview package that I assume you'll be basing off of) appears to have installed to versioned directories in version1 as well as version2, doesn't have any programs, etc, there shouldn't be any problems. You probably won't even be tempted to get cute with your Provides: as you're experienced enough to avoid those pitfalls. But 1) There's no way that I can know that the gtksourceview code makes it easy to parallel install these libraries without having a package to review. 2) Even if I'm resourceful enough to grab an older gtksourceview there's no way I can know that what I'm looking at in this gtksourceview package is what you propose as the base of your import because you may have to fix it up for conflicts, etc. 3) It's not the job of the cvsadmin to review packaging. If they want to, that's great but really you can only count on them to process cvs requests. If something's fishy (like no review for a package and no srpm to even look at) they have no way of knowing whether to approve it or not so chances are they'll err on the side of safety. Getting a review is going to speed the acceptance process. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
