Per-product Packaging Draft
by Stephen Gallagher 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 == Wiki Draft == https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Per-Product_Configuration_Packaging_Draft == Goal == Establish a mechanism by which we can deliver different default configuration sets depending on which Product (or lack thereof) a user has installed. == Contributing Factors == * Both yum and DNF have issues with handling Conflicts: at the appropriate phase of dependency-checking. As a result, we need to have a strict Requires: system-release-[standard|$PRODUCT] on the foo-config-* sub-packages to ensure that we don't ever try to pull in a Product-specific system-release package. * This design is heavily-dependent on deep knowledge of the depsolving mechanisms used by yum and DNF. * This design is a temporary measure and will be better and more cleanly handled by the advanced dependency methods planned for future (F23?) versions of RPM and DNF. I'm asking the FPC to review and comment on this draft, ideally with a quick turnaround (as it will have direct influence on the Alpha deliverables). I've discussed it at length with Toshio when I was drawing it up; it should only have minor modifications to it after also discussing it with the yum and dnf developers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlO73VwACgkQeiVVYja6o6O/7ACeOTuidZXy2uYVG9keP+Z+JxkZ a4oAoLBXyPsCR2Cpo9DcLUi2efQJklMN =+mVx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Orphaning kate-plugin-cpphelper
by Mario Blättermann 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Hi all, I've orphaned the master branch of kate-plugin-cpphelper. It was an attempt some time ago to learn C++, but I don't have neither the time nor the motivation anymore. In Rawhide, it doesn't build after the latest "boost" update [1], even not the current version 1.0.1 [2]. Maybe an up-to-date Git checkout [3] works, haven't tested it.

Conflicting binaries location
by Christopher Meng 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hi, I'd like to know how to avoid such case: package foo(being packaged) provides: /usr/bin/foo And package bar used to provide it as well at the same location, but since releases ago it has changed to: /usr/lib/bar/bin/foo My question is, where is the best location for such binaries? My opinion is these 3: /usr/lib/foo/bin/? (this package provides libs, but underneath /usr/lib/foo-$(VERSION)) /usr/libexec/foo/? (or even /usr/libexec/ because I only have one binary) /usr/bin/foo/? But I don't know which one is better, any ideas? Thanks. Yours sincerely, Christopher Meng Noob here. http://cicku.me
