Hi, I recently had the same problem with the jabberd package. It supports a variety of database backends, but I didn't want to add all those libraries to the dependency list of the package, and I didn't want to add half a dozen plugin packages that contain more metadata than payload. So I decided to keep all the plugins in the main package, but exclude them from the automatic dependency checking. As jabberd doesn't try to load any plugins it hasn't been configured for, I think this was the best solution for my case. Not sure how well it applies to other plugin-capable packages. cu Reinhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging-help@opensuse.org
