And if you don't like to require package names, you could add your own Provides to the packages for capabilities such as ROM images. With the added benefit that you could apply versions to those capabilities, which is not possible with file dependencies. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
odd file requires
Hey folks, I put together this list for things I'd like to work on for f13. It's a list of packages with a file-requires that falls outside of *bin/* and /etc/* and then the provider(s) for those files. http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/non-primary-file-reqs-and-what-requires-them.txt I've gone through some of them and I'm looking for where we can clean up a few more. Take a look through, see if you see a package you're responsible for and, if you can, figure out a way to not need the file-requires. this helps our users b/c if we don't need to get the filelists to resolve the dependency then they don't use up the bandwidth. thanks, -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

In the case of puppet (and probably some of the others listed in the
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp section), puppet provides an emacs file,
but it also owns %{_datadir}/emacs so as not to require emacs. AFAIK,
since puppet provides this file, the filelists don't need to be
downloaded to resolve the dep. At least, I don't recall ever seeing
it download them when I've installed or updated puppet.
Note that actually the problem raised in Seth's list is actually the
ftnchek package doing a Requires: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp

The qemu/gpxe-roms-qemu ones were added because we were moving a file from gpxe-roms to gpxe-roms-qemu. Leaving it as a package requires means hard-coding knowledge in qemu about which version of gpxe-roms-qemu provides which roms. IMHO, the file requires makes more sense.
