AFAIK libbind found it's way into Fedora/RHEL the first time with a bind 9.3.x series, I can imagine this had a good reason. On the other hand, the bind 9.2.x ships libbind.so.3 which seems to be a bigger step to libbind.so.4 coming from 9.3.x; the current bind 9.5.x also ships libbind.so.4. This keeps me as EPEL maintainer on the safer side, that if something in libbind breaks, somebody has at least a look for RHEL 5 at it and I can just grab/steal afterwards the patch for EPEL 4 ;-) Personally, I didn't see a problem with having this libbind packageon a CentOS 4.6 together with Bitlbee 1.2, yet. Ah and a closed source third party software also works with it - oh and that one somehow depends on libbind.so.4 and not on libbind.so.3... But regarding the real deep technical points, maybe Adam is able to tell a few words here? > Source1: libbind-man.tar.gz I'll change that. I just copied it over from a current bind package as it is. > BuildRequires: glibc-devel >= 2.2.5-26, glibc-kernheaders >= 2.4-7.10 I think, you're right. Also a copied thing. I'll check this soon for the next package in mock. > * The "description" is IMHO confusing/hard to read and doesn't really express > what the package contains. Mmmh...yes. Should get rewriten, when now re-reading it again. > * This "(-,root,root)" IIRC should be "(-,root,root,-)" Luckily that's optional and not a must ;-) -- 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, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
