Hello, this is a request to all package maintainers who have any kind of BuildRequires for Ghostscript in the spec files. I ask you to try out if it works for your particular packages when you use for building packages since openSUSE 12.2 only either BuildRequires: ghostscript-mini or BuildRequires: ghostscript-mini-devel in spec files that have any kind of BuildRequires for Ghostscript. Background information and reasoning: Since openSUSE 12.2 we have Ghostscript in the new source packages "ghostscript" and "ghostscript-mini" ("ghostscript-mini" is only a link to "ghostscript") and the Ghostscript fonts in the new separated source package ghostscript-fonts, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735824 In particular regarding "ghostscript-mini" see https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ghostscript-mini&project=Printing Excerpt: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Minimal Ghostscript provides only the file format drivers in particular to output JPEG PNG PostScript and PDF files but no printer drivers (in particular neither 'cups' nor 'ijs') and no X11 drivers. The ghostscript-mini package is only meant to be used by the openSUSE build service to avoid possible loops in the build dependencies because ghostscript-mini has minimal build dependencies (in particular neither CUPS nor X11 build dependencies). For most packages which need to only run Ghostscript during build, a single line "BuildRequires: ghostscript-mini" should be sufficient in the RPM spec file. For most packages which need Ghostscript development files to build, a single line "BuildRequires: ghostscript-mini-devel" should be sufficient in the RPM spec file. ----------------------------------------------------------------- You should not need BuildRequires for ghostscript-fonts-* packages because ghostscript-mini has RPM requires for ghostscript-fonts-std and ghostscript-fonts-other to make sure that Ghostscript has its fonts, see https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=ghostscript-mini.spec&package=ghostscript-mini&project=Printing Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
