--- Comment #45 from Andy Mender <andymenderu...@gmail.com> --- > I would like to understand what you mean with the Requires lines - currently > I have: > qore -> requires libqore, qore-stdlib > libqore -> requires nothing > qore-doc () -> requires nothing > qore-devel (C++ development package) -> requires libqore > qore-devel-doc (C++ development docs) -> requires nothing > qore-misc-tools -> requires qore (which in turn requires libqore and > qore-stdlib) Apologies, I misunderstood the original intention behind the main "qore" package. I thought it's more of a meta/toolchain package. > qore-devel: > The Qore library can be used without qore and the qore-stdlib packages to > allow for developing programs supporting embedded logic in them; the qore and > qore-stdlib packages are both generally useful and in the vast majority of > cases would also be used, however in a theoretical "lean" use case > implementing only embedded logic in an application where the qore standard > library is not required or needed, and external scripting support with qore > is irrelevant, they would not be installed and requiring them would just take > up extra space with no benefit. Usually -devel packages require the main package. However, since qore-devel requires libqore, I think not requiring the main package is alright. > qore-doc and qore-devel-doc: > Regarding requiring anything for the doc packages, I followed originally the > same approach as with other languages such as Python, where the doc packages > can be installed standalone as well - ex: > https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3-docs/blob/master/f/python3-docs.spec > - which has no dependencies on external packaging. Good point! I see python3-docs uses the soft-dependency tag "Recommends". You can use something similar if you see fit :). > The scripts in this package require the qore executable to run, and the qore > pkg in turn depends on libqore & qore-stdlib, so those other two package are > indirect dependencies through qore. libqore is not sufficient for the > qore-misc-tools package, but needs to be in place so that the qore executable > will run. I'm trying to read a bit deeper into this section from the Packaging Guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_requiring_base_package I think the problem might be lines like these (using the %{?_isa} macro): Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} Can you try dropping the %{?_isa} macro? Perhaps that's causing issues? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
