[opensuse-packaging] Supplements package && language, how?
I'm packaging the new fully GPLv2+ spanish voices for festival. I would like them to supplement festival + spanish language. Looking at bundle-lang-common-es in YaST I see it supplements things like "PackageKit & namespace:language(es)"... even if "rpm -q --supplements bundle-lang-common-es" doesn't returns anything. But when looking at the spec file I don't see any Supplements line. Some black magic that adds dependency info in repo metadata but no in the package... how could I use it for festival-spanish-voices? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

That's created by the old language provides mechanism. Provides of the form locale([<package>:]<lang>[;<lang>...]) get rewritten into a supplements line. In your example you'll probably find Provides: locale(PackageKit:es) in the spec file.

Yes. So this works for any package that does that? But what do you mean with "old"? That should not be used for new packages or just that it is old? ;-) Should I use "Provides: locale(festival:es)" or just "Supplements: festival & namespace:language(es)"... that, if there is no black magic hidden, should do the same but putting the metadata also in the RPM package and without a bogus Provides? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it works for any package.

It is a very old mechanism, introduced a couple of years in the past. There were no Supplements at that time, that's why it's done with a Provides. (The same is true for "split-provides", btw.)

You'd have to rewrite the "&" as "packageand()", of course. But it still wouldn't work, as the "namespace:language(es)" isn't magical enough. So please use the Provides for now...
