Hi all! A week ago there was a discussion on packaging ml about "backporting of Factory packages" initiated by Stanislav Brabec. He wrote that he has script to handle BuildRequires and Requires replacements in spec files. (That means, automatic adding of %if %suse_version when needed). We learned that BuildService already does this but only for BuildRequires. Stanislav Brabec wrote:
It would be nice to adapt Requires, too. It's not so complicated and the fixing rule is exactly the same as BuildRequires need, so it should be trivial.
What about Requires? Any news on this issue? It would be really great if BuildService took care of both BuildRequires and Requires changes. More and more -devel packages are being created in Factory and -devel packages tend to require another -devel packages, which complicates building against older repositories. Global package mapping should be made publicly visible and there should be an easy way how to add new mappings to this global list (contact to competent person is sufficient). -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
