Indeed my fix sucks but there must be a better way. I have kernel source RPMs
and suchlike installed and these take forever to extract (and take a lot of
disk space for no good reason, since they're not going to be built).
I am sure there is a much cleverer way (isn't there a spec variable which
concatenates all Source: lines into something like this? I just can't find any
documentation on it).
I'll ask a question here since it seems to be your package to maintain, why is
xorg-x11-libs a single package when other distributions have fully modularized
as per modular X.org? Is this just a legacy from older X that was never fully
broken up once it went modular?
I noticed that libpixman was rolled into it at least in the far past.. after
being a seperate package.
It would solve the problem once and for all and allow a much more fine-grained
X configuration (and a less convoluted source RPM) to have each of these libs
as seperate RPMs? I am just wondering what the reasons for this decision were.
Would Novell/openSUSE accept a "patch" which split these into seperate RPMs
"again"?
