Bottom line: When packaging software for a distribution that does not support weak RPM dependencies, the usual way is "Requires: foo".
And this is where we differ. In general, I believe, users should not be punished for learning more and understanding how things work. Feeling something is broken while just a package is missing is something that can be helped with user learning more; having to break invalid strong dependencies can't. And seeing distribution making your life hard only to make life of uninformed users tiny bit easier is really frustrating.
I assume you meant "making my life hard" because for me it was neither hard nor frustrating. If a time slip happens back to "those (good?) old days", I will re-assign all bug reports about missing packages to you ;-) Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 21284 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
