While that may be true...... It creates a build dependancy loop. ;o/ freetype package Buildrequires XFree86-devel XFree86 package Buildrequires freetype-devel ick The only way to avoid that is to split out freetype-demos into it's own package. Not really that big of a deal IMHO, but I know some folk around here want to stuff 90 rpms into one. ;o) Since the build will fail anyway, might as well save the developer some time and abort early? --- freetype.spec.orig 2002-12-17 14:45:09.000000000 -1000 +++ freetype.spec 2002-12-17 14:52:20.000000000 -1000 @@ -97,6 +97,11 @@ %prep +if [ ! -f /usr/X11R6/bin/imake ]; then + echo "Please install XFree86-devel.

I'm not all that happy with the "stuff a bunch of tarballs into a single SRPM" approach that the freetype package takes to start with. I think I'm just going to leave things as is, until I have a chance to split it. However, splitting ft2demos out is non-trivial, since it requires writing entirely new makefiles for ft2demos, since the current ones depend on building in a subdirectory of freetype. (Well, we could have a ft2demos package that includes the freetype sources and builds them, and then throws them away, but that's even more unpleasant than the current.) *** Bug 110600 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 132523 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is still true for FC3, where it needs xorg-x11-devel, of course.
