What about adding gcc and make as weak dependencies to kernel-source? "Recommends" would be a good option IMHO.
"Recommends" is not as great as many people think. There was another similar change recently in another package (involving ft2demos, causing it to be installed by default on all systems even though it is usually not needed) that really annoyed me, I'll have to find it again and make a comment... In this specific case it might be OK, but then I'll ask why we don't make gcc a (weak or strong, whatever) dependency of every single -devel package. Ah, and of course gcc-c++ for C++ libraries. Many different things can be done with source code, compiling it is just one use case. Asking the user to figure out himself that he needs gcc to compile the kernel is not too much in my eyes.
BTW: I just wonder that kernel sources from 10.1 (didn't check 10.2 yet) require /sbin/insserv - did I miss something or is this a packaging bug?
It is not a packaging bug. Andreas Hanke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
