[Bug 1231065] I think we can learn the way Fedora packages Chromium.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231065 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231065#c8 --- Comment #8 from Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer@suse.com> --- One more challenge for this kind of package split is that binary compatibility needs to be maintained under all circumstances; which to all intents and purposes means no less than to enforce matching binary packages generated from the same (single!) source package by hard "requires" dependencies that match that exact version and build. So, for every tiniest update of the source package (the original tarball as well as patches added on top), the version needs to be bumped, which for the end user means having to download and update all the installed subpackages anyway. Trying to use shortcuts here results in crashes (security relevant for an Internet browser!) that are really hard to debug. Examples are the kernel packages and the YaST libyui packages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
