https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227362 Summary: mono-find-requires does neither work nor warn if monodis is missing Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Mono AssignedTo: bnc-team-mono@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de The /usr/bin/mono-find-requires script from mono-core is used to generate rpm dependencies from mono assemblies. This script depends on /usr/bin/monodis from mono-devel, but exits silently if /usr/bin/monodis is missing without generating any dependencies. Packagers currently have to track this manually and add mono-devel to their BuildRequires. This is very error prone: If a packager forgets it, the package ends up being built without any mono dependencies, e.g. bug 226326. /usr/bin/mono-find-requires should be changed to error out or at least print a big fat warning if it cannot generate proper dependencies because of missing tools. Alternatively, the packaging could be changed so that mono-find-requires and all its dependencies are packaged together. (Means: Move /usr/bin/monodis to mono-core, or move /usr/bin/mono-find-requires to mono-devel) -- 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.
