--- So here's change to fix my favorite annoyance with the git rpm packaging: don't pull in tla when I say yum install git! The decision to make 'git' a metapackage is to say the least unconventional and continues to surprise people (here's today discussion: http://marc.info/?t=120309228600004&r=1&w=2). I know it's late and most people who use the git rpms are used to installing git-core by now, but myself and most of my Red Hat co-workers (who should know a thing or two about rpm packaging) have been fooled by the 'git' rpm that pulls in everything. There's really no precendence for this, quite the opposite: you wouldn't expect yum install gcc to pull in fortran, right? The patch below only affects people who know that 'git' is a metapackage and actually use that to pull in everything (but who does?). The patch renames the 'git-core' rpm to just 'git', but adds a 'Provides: git-core' there so people who have trained themselves to say yum install git-core wont get burned. cheers, Kristian git.spec.in | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 1 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/git.spec.in b/git.spec.in index 3f9f888..51ddc08 100644 --- a/git.spec.in +++ b/git.spec.in @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Name: git Version: @@VERSION@@ Release: 1%{?dist} -Summary: Git core and tools +Summary: Core git tools License: GPL Group: Development/Tools URL: http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ @@ -11,80 +11,83 @@ Source: http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz BuildRequires: zlib-devel >= 1.2, openssl-devel, curl-devel, expat-devel, gettext %{!?_without_docs:, xmlto, asciidoc > 6.0.3} BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release} -Requires: git-svn = %{version}-%{release} -Requires: git-cvs = %{version}-%{release} -Requires: git-arch = %{version}-%{release} -Requires: git-email = %{version}-%{release} -Requires: gitk = %{version}-%{release} -Requires: git-gui = %{version}-%{release} Requires: perl-Git = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: zlib >= 1.2, rsync, curl, less, openssh-clients, expat +Provides: git-core = %{version}-%{release} +Obsoletes: git-core < %{version}-%{release} %description Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. -This is a dummy package which brings in all subpackages. +These are the core tools with minimal dependencies. -%package core -Summary: Core git tools +%package all +Summary: Meta-package to pull in all git tools Group: Development/Tools -Requires: zlib >= 1.2, rsync, curl, less, openssh-clients, expat -Obsoletes: git-p4 -%description core +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git-svn = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git-cvs = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git-arch = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git-email = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: gitk = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git-gui = %{version}-%{release} +Obsoletes: git < %{version}-%{release} + +%description all Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. -These are the core tools with minimal dependencies. +This is a dummy package which brings in all subpackages. %package svn Summary: Git tools for importing Subversion repositories Group: Development/Tools -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release}, subversion +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release}, subversion %description svn Git tools for importing Subversion repositories. %package cvs Summary: Git tools for importing CVS repositories Group: Development/Tools -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release}, cvs, cvsps +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release}, cvs, cvsps %description cvs Git tools for importing CVS repositories. %package arch Summary: Git tools for importing Arch repositories Group: Development/Tools -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release}, tla +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release}, tla %description arch Git tools for importing Arch repositories. %package email Summary: Git tools for sending email Group: Development/Tools -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release} %description email Git tools for sending email. %package gui Summary: Git GUI tool Group: Development/Tools -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release}, tk >= 8.4 +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release}, tk >= 8.4 %description gui Git GUI tool %package -n gitk Summary: Git revision tree visualiser ('gitk') Group: Development/Tools -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release}, tk >= 8.4 +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release}, tk >= 8.4 %description -n gitk Git revision tree visualiser ('gitk') %package -n perl-Git Summary: Perl interface to Git Group: Development/Libraries -Requires: git-core = %{version}-%{release} +Requires: git = %{version}-%{release} Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`";
