[opensuse-packaging] [Fwd: [package check i386] sabayon-admin changes]
Hi, Does anyone know why I get messages like the attached one once per day? :) Is there anything I should change in the Sabayon specfile? I couldn't see anything wrong in it. Thanks, Federico

Well, rpmlint doesn't like requires on release because they are usually a pain (as in sending tons of mail :). So remove the %release in your requires from sabayon-admin to sabayon. Or put a sabayon-rpmlintrc as SOURCE in your spec file that filters on that warning.

Excellent, thanks. I'll do the former. Federico --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

rpmlint complains about requires-on-release because it makes maintenance harder, and because SUSE packaging conventions forbid it (Section 1.12). The mail-sending effect is more a reminder and could even be suppressed, but as you can see here, there is at least one package that got fixed due to it ;) Greetings, Dirk -- RPMLINT information under http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

It is clear now that we know what requires-on-release means. How about replacing cryptic-error-code in the report by http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint#cryptic-error-code which enables us to click and read the explanation?

That would mean that somebody actually writes an explanation other than "it is a pain (because it writes emails)". actually, if you read the tail of your build log you will find the same error messages like you get with package check, except that there it has additional information printed below the check, which would explain what the check is good for. if the latter description for requires-on-release is not understandable, then file a bugreport and suggest a description that you can understand.
