Bug 118423 (xorgdeps)

xorg-x11 will be replacing XFree86 in the distribution very soon,
and as such all packages which have hard coded dependancies on
any of the XFree86 package names or versions of them, will have
dependancy issues.

Some of these issues will require temporary compatibility hacks in
the xorg-x11 packaging, while some may require longer term
compatibility hacks in xorg-x11 packaging.  Other issues will
require new virtual Provides lines to be added to both xorg-x11
packaging and also future XFree86 packaging updates, to help
minimize problems both with packages in the distribution and also
3rd party rpms.

Some of the biggest problems currently are:

- Packages that have hard coded Requires/BuildRequires/Prereq on
  the main "XFree86" package.  Many of these may have been around
  for a long time now, and nobody remembers why they were put there.
  It is possible that these can all just simply be removed from the
  various packages and things will just work(TM).  If a given package
  has such a dep listed and it is needed, then the real need needs
  to be determined so we can figure out wether I need another
  virtual provides to add or not.

- Packages that have BuildRequires: XFree86-devel
  This one is a bit tougher to solve, and so for the short term, I
  am adding Provides: XFree86-devel = 4.4.0 to the xorg-x11-devel
  subpackage, which will make things work for now.  Once we split
  out any particular libraries or even all libraries into their
  own individual rpms however, there is no easy way to provide
  an XFree86-devel package or virtual package compatibility, and
  so packages will really need to update to using virtual provides.

- Packages really shouldn't depend on any of the XFree86 fonts
  packages.  If a package does so now, I'd like to know so I can
  come up with a virtualized solution.

- Packages requiring or buildrequiring, etc. any other XFree86
  subpackage need to be fixed too.  They're likely smaller in
  number, and so I'm not sure what changes might be needed to
  accomodate things.  We'll deal with them on a package by
  package basis as they come up.

This bug report is a tracker for these issues.  Any xorg-x11/XFree86
package dependancy error should be filed in it's own individual
bug report, and then marked as blocking this bug, so that we can
track all of the issues in a single location, yet be able to provide
closure to each individual issue.

Please do not report the issues directly in this report though, use
individual reports as mentioned above.
