From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: This is against ImageMagick-devel, but I could only find the ImageMagick component. Magick-config --libs says to link against -lexif, but this file is not in the rpm. Made kismet build by fixing Magick-config not to ask for this file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ImageMagick-devel-5.5.7.15-1.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run Magick-config --libs 2.see -lexif 3. Additional info:
libexif.so is in the libexif-devel package. But ImageMagick-devel in FC3test1 is (still) missing these: Requires: libexif-devel Requires: xorg-x11-devel (or XFree86-devel if you like)
Mike, what is the preferred Requires syntax for XFree86-devel or xorg-x11-devel now?
Warren) Initially, I decided it was best to keep everything using XFree86-devel still, as we have a compat virtual provides. That allows packages to be buildable across distro releases. For the time being I think it is best to stick with that, or else a package that requires xorg-x11-devel, will not rebuild on older OS releases that ship XFree86. Of course, if a package doesn't matter, then whichever can be used. Note however though, that this will change again in the future once modularization occurs, so I kept the XFree86-devel so that things only have to change once both with internal and external packages. Once we do go modular though, all software will need finer grained library build deps, at which point everything will break in unison, but only once at least. ;o) Short version: Use XFree86-devel for simplicity for now, and wait for the coming firestorm in a few weeks. ;o)
ping?
Fix built as 6.0.7.1-4.
