Since I got no answer in -packaging (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2011-03/msg00050.html) trying here. What's the plan for RPM in openSUSE 12.1? RPM 4.9.0 was released nearly two month ago and Factory still uses 4.8, I would rather prefer to start adapting the spec files now than later. I suppose Vincent continues modifying spec files with his new macros, it would be ugly to say him all the work needs to be undone at the last moment. The first step would be informing packagers of any new rules. Looking at the release notes I see two important points: * "Dependency generators are now pluggable. Arbitrary number of dependency types is supported, new types can be added through a drop-in directory and file classification is now done with a combination of path and libmagic-type include/exclude regular expressions (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)" How they exactly work? Something should be changed about %wx_requires? * "EXPERIMENTAL support for package "collections" which are sort of like named triggers that only run once within a transaction. This can be used for example to avoid redundant calls for cache updates etc. (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)" Experimental? Should we use this instead of multiple calls to gtk-update-icon-cache? It's expected that openSUSE 12.1 will use a newer RPM where collections are no longer experimental? And this would be nice: * "Short-circuiting binary builds is now allowed by rpmbuild for developer convenience while testing. Short-circuited packages are tainted with an unsatisfiable dependency to limit their use for the intended testing-only purpose." How? Is this possible through "osc build"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
