Hello On a package I need to ensure Apache and MySQL are installed as prerequsites. Are these items valid for a .specfile ?, if not what should the names be for Apache and MySQL.

BuildRequires: Apache BuildRequires: MySQL

Do you need them to _build_ your package or to _run_ it? I'd be very surprised if you need them at build time. If you need something at build time that would rather be header files, from -devel packages.

I need the packages installed so the package will _run_ so it would be good to check that they are indeed installed.

If package is a web application that simply requires a webserver Requires: http_daemon if what you need is apache specifically Requires: apache2 Now, if the application is an apache _module_ , spec file must : Requires: apache2 %{apache_mmn} In the mysql case, spec has to Requires: mysql -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
