Hi,
IMO our util-linux package is completely messed up. Last year I had spend a lot of time to simplify it, to bring patches upstram etc. But some weeks later after update to 2.25 was finished it became even worse than before. Somehow it was required to split the package into 3 packages to prevent build loops (python, systemd deps)...
This split made the spec file unreadable und IMO unmaintainable. Just have a look how the configure.ac and Makefiles are raped in 3 different ways by dozens of nested, ifdef'ed sed lines.
Is there really no other way to solve these build loops?
Sadly this really is the easiest approach, The other solution is individual spec for each subackage that needs to be updated in sync. Best solution would be to convince upstream to stop keeping it together and release other small subpackages. Tom
