Another question I have has to do with rpm selection. Let's say we have a package, foo, which lots of other packages depend on (BuildRequires: foo). Let's also say that foo has been replaced by bar, and bar's specfile has this: "Provides: foo" and "Obsoletes: foo", and that foo and bar and the other packages are all in the same project. Why isn't bar being installed in favor of foo?
See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-06/msg00012.html
I see. So in summary, the OBS doesn't look at Obsoletes for preferential rpm dependencies. However, it would appear that it's not looking that Provides, either: the package "bar" is using Provides: foo and yet it is not, apparently, being considered for dependency fulfillment for other packages in the same project. I'm unclear as to whether or not this behavior is expected. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
