IIRC, this would cause weirdness in pungi, as it would then pull both. So, perhaps a s/fedora/system/ would be better. It already pulls in both because of the inclusive dependency resolving; the first requirement for "system-release" will pull in every single package that supplies "system-release"; being fedora-release and generic-release This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Any update here? IIRC, we tried it, weird things happened, we put it back. Perhaps I'm misremembering. I don't recall having had a part in these tests, could I get some more details? That comment is the extent of my memory. If you do the change in a local comps file, do the various live images and the Fedora tree compose OK? This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping IIRC comps does not work via "provides" so you can't just put system-release. We could do something like how ppc/s390/ia64/whatever arch specific tools are done, where all our *-release packages are listed as default in @core, and make sure our compose tools only pick the appropriate one. Does that sound OK to anybody? I think the idea was that removing it and relying on dependency resolution would DTRT. But it would need testing. I'm not aware of anything that actually requires 'system-release'. Well, /etc/redhat-release is needed by (installed) initscripts-9.08-1.fc13.x86_64 but eeew filedep. It was done that way before we had generic system-release provides. Removed in comps-f16.xml.in; we'll watch for weirdness. |
