Recommendation has ben forwarded to package developer/maintainer. *** Bug 3800 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** rpm -V complains about many, many files in kernel-source and kernel-headers once one has made a kernel. A wonderful enhancement would be to mark, somehow, all the files that one expects to change in these rpm files. For example, all the ".depend" files. I have pages and pages of "rpm -V" complaints in kernel-headers and kernel-source. I know this is normal behavior. My wish is for some way to mark files that one expects to change so rpm -V (perhaps with some other option) won't list such files. When using the output of "rpm -Va" to look for system problems, it would make life much much easier! All but --nocfg are implemented in rpm-4.0.3. FWIW, the effect of --nocfg can be trivially implemented by doing rpm -Va | grep -v ' c ' and, with almost no additiona effort, can be configured using a popt alias in /etc/popt with rpm -Va --pipe. I see little need to add the option to rpm's default configuration. |
