It's just about consistency. A rule of thumb is that a directory should be owned by multiple packages only if it's hard to tell where it logically belongs or it would result in a too long or inappropriate dependency chain. A requirement is that every package must create the directories it installs files into, either by (1) having it in its own filelist or by (2) depending on another package that has it in its filelist. The current situation is (1). I think that (2) reflects the reality much better because /usr/share/xsessions has a clear logical owner: xorg-x11. xorg-x11 is the package that provides the xdm init script which is always required to boot the system into runlevel 5 and the xsession .desktop files are useful only if the system can be booted into runlevel 5, so I think that xorg-x11 should be the only package that has /usr/share/xsessions in its filelist and all the others should depend on it. Effectively, this means no changes for xorg-x11 and adding dependencies on xorg-x11 + removing /usr/share/xsessions from the filelist for all the others. Does this sound reasonable? I can file reports for the individual packages if that is preferred. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
