I have kernel source RPMs and suchlike installed and these take forever to extract (and take a lot of disk space for no good reason, since they're not going to be built). I am sure there is a much cleverer way (isn't there a spec variable which concatenates all Source: lines into something like this? I just can't find any documentation on it). I'll ask a question here since it seems to be your package to maintain, why is xorg-x11-libs a single package when other distributions have fully modularized as per modular X.org? Is this just a legacy from older X that was never fully broken up once it went modular? I noticed that libpixman was rolled into it at least in the far past.. after being a seperate package. It would solve the problem once and for all and allow a much more fine-grained X configuration (and a less convoluted source RPM) to have each of these libs as seperate RPMs? I am just wondering what the reasons for this decision were. Would Novell/openSUSE accept a "patch" which split these into seperate RPMs "again"? -- 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.

Re pixman; the Cairo spec shows: # Last present in SuSE Linux 10.0 (and NLD9): Obsoletes: libpixman <= 0.1.1 Provides: libpixman <= 0.1.1 Basically it looks like it was a seperate package for a small amount of time.. I could be mistaken, but it seems pixman has been moved in and out of other packages (including Cairo, which has had it "included" and then patches "not needed" too... weird stuff IMO). -- 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.

I was trying to add another bug and play with dependencies and somehow it reopened it. I probably just forgot which tab was which and clicked the wrong one :) Sorry. -- 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.
