[opensuse-packaging] where to open a bug report of packman repo?
Where can I report an "issue/feature" regarding a package of the packman repository? The problem is with k3b, it has kdebase as dependency (witch is really unnecessary). You see, I'm using gnome and don't want to install kdebase because it install a bunch of app that I don't need. k3b works perfectly without kdebase, so I want to ask to remove this dependency. -- Kind Regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

rpm -qi k3b will privide the name of the packager, the one to contact. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Send an email to packman@links2linux.de

Incidentally, I'm one of the k3b package maintainers @packman so... ;)
Note that bug 114320 says otherwise:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=114320
I don't know for which openSUSE versions it is still applicable though.
The k3b package in Factory still contains the following:
%if %suse_version >1030
Requires: suse_help_viewer kdebase3-runtime
%else
Requires: kdebase3
I'm going to fix the k3b package @packman to use that (as above) instead
of just "Requires: kdebase3" as we have now.
(will be fixed in k3b-1.0.5-0.pm.5)
cheers

Denny, why do you think there is a separate Packman repository in the
first place ? ;)

I don't think there's much double work as of today. There used to be,
before we had the Build Service. Now, except for a long list of games
that Toni is maintaining in the Packman repository, most packages there
couldn't be hosted in the openSUSE Build Service anyway (I hope you know
why).
cheers
