Hi Christoph
I have looked into your suggestion above and I see the EPEL repo has a
spec file which does a similar thing, so it certainly looks do-able, it is
taking me a long time to fiddle with it to get it right, but I will shout
when I have a spec.
Question for the list though -- I see the obsoletes line indicates that
there was previously a collectd-apache and collectd-mysql
collectd-sensors. This approach was clearly canned at some stage... any
ideas on why? would such a split again be accepted?
I have done a straight rebuild of the source rpm on a dev server which
doesn't have xmms or desktop libraries available and the resultant rpm has
much fewer dependancies since the configure script excludes a bunch of
stuff automatically. Some further clean-ups of the contrib/ directory
suggested by Craig Orsinger (who replied off list) and it ends up
dramatically reducing the dependancies.
