[opensuse-factory] Dist meeting minutes 2008-03-06
- From: Stephan Kulow <coolo@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:16:17 +0100
- Message-id: <200803101016.17457.coolo@xxxxxxxxxx>
Present: maw, anicka, nadvornik, kukuk, meissner, rguenther, holgi,
matz, milli, coolo, jpr
- Branding policy
- No objections to put it into place
- branding installation not yet done, wip
- AI: Stanislav will look into splitting and
submitting bug reports for packages to be
changed (tbd)
- need more documentation how to package branding
(may be product specific)
- perl splitting
- mls not part of the meeting unfortunately
- perl should be split because it's pretty big for base
- mls wants "perl" to be what upstream releases as sources,
including _everything_
- so the idea is to split perl into several smaller packages
and leave "perl" to require all of these
- for base system, we would not need "perl", but the
modules/subpackage we require
- question is: how to solve the dependency problem
- rpm finds perl requires and perl provides already, but
rpm requires is often too much - e.g. optional module
- evaluated build service project with all perl packages
and automatic rpm requires, stripped out explicit perl
requires and looked at fallouts
- there were many problems, but not unfixables
- e.g. by black- or whitelist of perl requires to be
ignored / taken into account
- Anicka is rather afraid of any change
- we could enlarge perl-base, split perl into perl-docs
and perl-modules and let perl-<FOO> require perl-modules
and no longer perl
- review basesystem requires if they can rather require
perl-base instead of perl-modules
- AI: rguether - dig out spec files for splitting docs (not found, done)
- AI: coolo - present this to mls (done)
- AI: coolo,matz - backport the patches to Factory even if
disabled (tbd)
