Hi,
In the GNOME world, we have a few directories that are used by quite a few packages to put some files. Two examples are
/usr/share/gnome/help /usr/share/gtk-doc
The thing is that the first one is "owned" by libgnome and the second one is owned by gtk-doc. However, now, many packages don't need libgnome and still put files in /usr/share/gnome/help and it's bad to require the gtk-doc package at runtime only to have /usr/share/gtk-doc existing.
So, how can we handle this case? Should we create some package like the filesystem one that would contain the common directories for GNOME stuff? Is it okay to add GNOME-related directories to the filesystem package? Or should we just be happy with having all packages owning a part of those directories?
Easy, a directory can be owned by multiple packages. Just files cannot.. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
