Description Jindrich Novy 2008-08-28 10:06:18 UTC

Description of problem:
There is planned rebase of RPM in RHEL5.3. The new packages come with the new subpackage named rpm-apidocs. comps need to be updated because of that. Otherwise compose won't find rpm-apidocs and therefore it's missing from the errata.

Thanks!

The subackage has been pulled into last nightly compose via NPLB (No Package Left Behind) feature.
There's no need to do a comps change unless the subpackage should appear in anaconda package list.

Jindrich, does it make sense to add it to the package list in anaconda?
In this case, I'd prefer *not* to add it, since it's a docs file which wouldn't be frequently used.

Please don't add it to the list in anaconda if the anaconda guys need only the functional part. Missing rpm-apidocs won't affect a functionality of rpm and it was also one of the reasons for splitting it into a separate subpackage :)
