[yast-devel] Lazy package requirements of YaST modules
Hi, yast2-nfs-server requires nfs-kernel-server, but it does not say so in .spec. Instead, it checks at run time and offers to install it then. Other modules are similar. Should we not list these packages as Recommends in .spec? IIRC the current practice was esablished before Recommends was available.

Thanks Daniel ! Maybe Coolo has a different opinion for openSUSE, though. Klaus --- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
