I've split up a devel package from sane-backends for openSUSE:Factory. I have added to packages needing the devel library the following:
%if 0%{?suse_version} > 1130 BuildRequires: sane-backends-devel %else BuildRequires: sane-backends %endif
This allows the package, e.g. xsane, to build in an original 11.3 environment.
So, now the package works fine - unless sane-backends and the package are in the same devel project since the split was done unconditionally in sane- backends. Now the package xsane will not build for older releases since it has buildrequires on sane-backends but sane-backends in the same devel project has a separate devel package that would need to be required.
So, how to solve this the best way?
As long as there is no intend to release both or either involved package as version update with the exact same spec file on older releases just don't care about old releases. A potential backports project will either have both packages anyways or can add appropriate Subsitute lines in the prjconf. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
