https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244969 Summary: gettext-devel should not require glibc-devel Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 0plus Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de gettext-devel is not a classical -devel package like most others, the upstream authors in fact call it gettext-tools. There are a few C headers in this package, but the outstanding thing in this package are the utilities. Therefore I do not consider the dependency on glibc-devel useful, is it possible to remove it? The target audience of this package is not just C programmers, but also translators. It is possible to be a good translator without ever compiling a C program. C programmers will get glibc-devel through gcc anyway, because gcc requires glibc-devel, too. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
