--- Comment #8 from Jan Matejek
so how do you propose to implement the "i want python that's 2.6.* but not higher or lower" Requires ?
Requires: python = 2.6
But the python-2.6.rpm implicitly provides its name and version (as does every rpm package), so there is no need to 'Provide:' it explicitly.
true, but. python's version is now 2.6.0 (to avoid upgrade problems from 2.6b3 and 2.6rc1) and next version will be 2.6.1 - and every 2.6.x release is "fully compatible except for bugfixes" with baseline 2.6. That is the reason why %py_requires were originally defined to take python >= A.B AND python < A.B+1 -- 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.
