Shouldn't the shared libraries be split into separate packages and not simply grouped by .so.6.0 and .so.5.0?
Those libraries *are* splitted into separate packages, we have libncurses5 for 5.6 and libncurses6 for 6.0.
But you have libncurses.so.5.6 and libncursesw.so.5.6 in libncurses5 and libncursest.so.6.0 and libncursestw.so.6.0 in libncurses6, right? I was suggesting to have libncursest6, libncursestw6, libncursesw5 and libncurses5.
That is needlessy more packages.
$ rpm -e libncurses5 2>&1 | grep libncurses.so | wc -l 33 $ rpm -e libncurses5 2>&1 | grep libncursesw.so | wc -l 12
And that's a fair share already IMHO to put them together, like it is done in SUSE 11.0.
It's not about "fair share" but about policy and small size of installed systems. Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
