Hi Christian,
This all looks good, but can you revert the pkgconfig stuff, so it will build at least on SLES11 SP2 ?
I'd prefer not to break this unessecarily on the lates SLE.
Thanks!
Peter

pkg-config()-style dependencies Pros: - Cross-distro compatibility - Immune to package renames and splits (and someday someone is going to decide splitting libqt4-devel is a good idea...) Cons: - They don't work with SLE and Evergreen Could we decide on an official policy about this? My vote is for: a) Prefer the use of pkgconfig() dependencies b) If compatibility with old distributions is desired do the changes in the old distributions For 'b' we would advance a lot if for SLE the OBS would use the implicit rule "Substitute: pkgconfig(X) X-devel" if no explicit Substitute is available. The rest could be added manually, preferably in the prjconf of the main SUSE:SLE-11:SP2 project so devel projects don't need to duplicate the work. p.s: Suse, please, if you are going to release a SP3 add pkg-config to your build environment and patch your RPM to add the pkgconfig() Provides. Another patch to add %make_install would also be welcomed. It's not like anything is going to break because of this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
