I know. The suse spec file looks even more crazy because they try to build stage 2 against already installed libmount, libblkid, etc. As far as i understood they try to avoid a "real" bootstrapping and simply rebuild all packages again and again until nothing changes anymore (reproducible builds). Because this needs a lot of builds they try hard to remove as many as possible deps from the low-level packages like util-linux. In this case they decided to split util-linux to not cause rebuilds of other packages in case of systemd update. The python stuff is even later built in a "stage 3" ... As already said, personally I don't like this suse way. These both patches are just to make the suse spec file at least a bit less ugly. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
