Description kestes 2000-08-09 17:19:58 UTC

A) Please do not use the release numbers for your own use.

	Version: %{version}
	Release: 9.6x.1

I need to use the release numbers for when I rollout new dependencies
and new spec files.  You really should have called this 

	Version: %{version}-9.6x.1

B) Why not put all my dependency programs into a directory (perhaps
even package) of their own:

	%{__prefix}/lib/rpm/depends

then we can make 

	%{__prefix}/lib/rpm/find-requires

a link to

	%{__prefix}/lib/rpm/depends/find-requires

C) The configure script checks for a different verision of patch then
your Conficts do

	Conflicts: patch < 2.5
	checking old version of patch... patch later then 2.2 found

D) You define two macros which I do not see used anywhere:

	 __share and _noPayloadPrefix 

I assume they are somehow "magic"

E)  I do not like your new dependencies
         rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by
perl-5.00503-11

I would rather see the outername space used to denote the type of
dependency then the inner one can denote the "attribute".

         solib(rpmlib::VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by
perl-5.00503-11

Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2005-05-18 14:16:19 UTC

This bug is extremely old, as such I'm closing, if you feel any of the issues
should be reopened against rpm 4.4.x in Fedora development please do so.
