- either move to the xorg-x11-libs package

Due to the modular buildsystem we now have this would make the build of xorg-x11-libs rather complicated.

- or move into a separate package

What's the benefit? You still need to install this package manually since you can't do a "Requires: " in xorg-x11-libs, since this would result in an autobuild loop. So what you're suggesting is making a subpackage "xorg-x11-xauth" and adding a "Requires: xorg-x11-xauth" to "xorg-x11".

If you have xauth in a separate pacakge you can start x11 applications with just xorg-x11-libs and xauth installed. It's not a bit deal that xauth has to be manually selected. The manual selection could be prevented by an RPM requires on xauth in the xorg-x11-libs package though but I don't like that idea too much. The xorg-x11 (server) package should of course require xauth via RPM. -- 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.

There is no Xserver + deps in the xorg-x11 package. A seperated xauth package would save some space, but that's it.

Xserver IS xorg-x11 and the deps I was speaking of are the long list of "rpm -qR xorg-x11". Sorry if I didn't say that clear enough.

I already explained that exactly this is *not* possible.

how does a "Requires: xorg-x11-xauth" for xorx-x11-libs introduce a loop while this is an installation dependency not a build dependency? All major distributions have xauth in separate packages to not force the users to install xorg-x11 plus `rpm -qR xorg-x11`. And there are also setups in the real world where the installation (even if disabled) of an X server is a no-go for securitry or policy reasons. Less space is not the only reason. -- 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.

Ich versuche es mal. xorg-x11 buildrequired xorg-x11-libs. Nachdem aber xorg-x11-libs das xauth Pakete (Subpaket von xorg-x11) requiren soll und autobuild deshalb davon ausgeht, dass es zuerst gebaut werden muss, gibt es eine Loop in autobuild.

xorg-x11 buildrequires xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-libs requires xauth (Subpaket von xorg-x11)

Klar?

okay, ich hatte nicht mitbekommen, dass xorg-x11-libs jetzt aus einem eigenen source rpm kommen. Das erklärt das ... -- 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.
