Hi,
Why python-gnome-extras was removed from Factory? I had a package that uses it for spell check (virtaal)
virtaal claims those dependencies:
BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils BuildRequires: fdupes BuildRequires: gettext-runtime BuildRequires: hicolor-icon-theme BuildRequires: libglade2 BuildRequires: python-curl BuildRequires: python-devel BuildRequires: python-gtk BuildRequires: translate-toolkit BuildRequires: update-desktop-files
Requires: %{name}-lang = %{version} Requires: python-gobject2 Requires: python-gtk Requires: python-lxml Requires: translate-toolkit #the optional ones (for full experience) Requires: gtkspell Requires: python-curl Requires: python-Levenshtein Requires: python-psycopg2 Requires: python-simplejson Requires: xdg-utils
Nothing of that is/was provided by python-gnome-extras - any package, before it's being deleted from Factory, is checked if it has reverse dependencies: if there are none (as was identified for python-gnome- extras) a delete request can proceed. Of course, if packagers don't specify their deps, this will break (as will the package on users machines if the deps are not properly specified) - and is a bug.
If you want to resurrect such obsolete code, be prepared to maintain it. The original maintainers will certainly not have an interest in it anymore (or they would not have filed delete requests to start with).
Cheers, Dominique
Hi, It doesn't claim anymore because I drop this requirement 2 days ago: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/517724 after the repo-checker told me nothing provides python-gnome-extras 7 days ago: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/M17N/virtaal I don't want to maintain it, I was just curious about why its dropped as it was a requirements for another package. The answer could be: its unmantained, its a dead code, doesn't compile anymore, noone cares, etc Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
