Once again I have no idea what you mean. In what way, precisely, are build requirements important. In what way might they go wrong? What must we be careful to ensure?
What Richard tries to express is that with bootstrap problems you have to always look at the whole cycle and not just at single packages. Because if you fail to build one package with the rest, you enlarge the cycle.
I reverted the change now as you proposed and I tried to setup a staging project for this purpose, but I failed - will continue later
Greetings, Stephan
I don't know if what I've done will be useful, but I have:
-created an e2fsprogs-mini.spec in e2fsprogs which builds without any dependencies on texinfo or tex.
home:neilbrown:branches:filesystems/e2fsprogs
This requires osc linkpac filesystems e2fsprogs filesystems e2fsprogs-mini to be useful.
-created a version of krb5 which depends on libcom_err-mini-devel (from e2fsprogs-mini) and removes the needless dependency on doxygen
home:neilbrown:branches:networks/krb5
-created a version of libtirpc which depends on krb5-mini rather than krb5.
home:neilbrown:branches:Base:System:libtirpc
and created a submit request for each of those. This should allow libtirpc to be included with minimal extra build dependencies.
Thanks for the effort.
