Hallo. I wrote a script, which attempts to backport packages to be compilable on older products. It means replacing of Requires and BuildRequires by an appropriate %if. It is intended to prevent hardly maintainable %if %suse_version hell in Factory. If there will be an interest, I can maintain it in OpenSUSE:Tools. Usage is trivial: - cd to unpacked sources. - Run it. TODO: - Move configuration outside script (trivial). - Support for "this new name is already used in this repository" (trivial - delete appropriate line or use "%if %suse_version foo || 0%{?opensuse_bs}". (trivial) - Support for rules more packages -> anything (not so trivial) - Support for fixes of "has choice for" (already written, but it is not part of this attachment, because it has a large configuration. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
