Hello,
I'm currently working on packaging Orthanc. This installation can be extended with plugins, e.g. for database-backends and viewers.
Those plugins require the sources of Orthanc to compile (beside some other specialities).
In order to keep things easy and consistent, I packed the sources of orthanc into orthanc-devel. So with BuildRequires: orthanc-devel in the plugins one should be fine.
Now this is objected by the maintainer of the targeted development repository, sources inside -devel are not allowed.
Adding the othanc source tarball to each plugin separately sounds a bad idea to me. High risk of inconsistency. Having a -src package build together with -devel isnt smart either - it just adds overhead.
Any other ideas how to solve this?
Thanks Axel
