[opensuse-packaging] RFC: Browser independent provides (fate#313084)
Hi all, I got a bug about icedtea-web is not installed by default https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737105 I am sure that instead of relying on patterns, the problem can be solved very easily in icedtea-web package itself Supplements: packageand($BROWSER:java-openjdk) will push the package when browser and JRE is installed. However what is the $BROWSER? To my suprise we have 8(!) different browsers in Factory atm. But maintaing a list of several changing (security team might decide 8 more or less unmaintained browsers is too much) Supplements does not sound sexy for me, so I wrote a FATE#313084 Universal rpm symbol for browsers https://features.opensuse.org/313084 In short I propose add 1.) One common symbol for all browsers 'browser', 'browser-plugin', or 'browser(plugin)' 2.) Rendering engine specific one 'gecko' or 'browser(gecko)', 'webkit' and 'presto' Please share your opinion here or in the FATE. Thanks Michal Vyskocil

"web-browser", please, not just "browser". "browser" is too generic.
2.) Rendering engine specific one 'gecko' or 'browser(gecko)', 'webkit' and 'presto'
Please share your opinion here or in the FATE.
I like the idea in general. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
