I've split up a devel package from sane-backends for openSUSE:Factory. I have added to packages needing the devel library the following:
%if 0%{?suse_version} > 1130 BuildRequires: sane-backends-devel %else BuildRequires: sane-backends %endif
This allows the package, e.g. xsane, to build in an original 11.3 environment.
So, now the package works fine - unless sane-backends and the package are in the same devel project since the split was done unconditionally in sane- backends. Now the package xsane will not build for older releases since it has buildrequires on sane-backends but sane-backends in the same devel project has a separate devel package that would need to be required.
So, how to solve this the best way?
Don't do the %if magic if the package is maintained in the same project as sane-backends. You really don't need it.
If people take xsane from this project and build it on 11.3 without taking the dependencies from this same project, then they're doing it wrong, unfortunately.
Thanks for the info! Actually it is not xsane but iscan-free which is in the same devel project "graphics" as sane-backends. I will fix iscan-free as you suggested. By the way: Is it somehow possible to exclude the current devel project from the repositories where the build service looks for packages to be installed for the build system? At least it seems it is not possible to exclude the current devel project via the web interface because it is not listed in https://build.opensuse.org/package/repositories?package=iscan-free&project=graphics Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex
