Re: Running CLI uitilities not available in Fedora?
Hello All! I'd like to ask you for advice. I've packaged an application which can use external CLI tools (not available in Fedora for various non-legal reasons). Shall I remove support for these tools or better keep it? Hello, if your application has a preference for that CLI name modification and proper error handling you could just change reference to some note. I.e. "this_tool_name_NAME_is_not_installed", that should appear in error box. Or may be you'l submit a request to upstream to make this possible.

The answer is "it depends". I don't think removing support/features from tools you package is the way forward: it makes maintenance harder for you, and if users install the non-available CLI then try to use your packaged program, they would be surprised to find it can't use that external CLI tool. Definitely make sure that your packaged app has a useful error when users try to use features that require the external CLI, and maybe even tells them where to find it if they're willing to install from external sources. -Ryan -- Ryan Brown / Red Hat, Inc. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
