Description Jonathan Underwood 2005-09-02 12:52:45 EDT

Description of problem:
This package requires emacs-el for no apparent reason as far as I can tell.
Certainly the auctex package from the auctex homepage doesn't require the source
el files to be installed, and I see no reason that it should?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.55-4.fc4

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install emacs-auctex pulls in emacs-el
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Comment 1 Ed Hill 2005-09-05 14:02:00 EDT

Hi Jonathan, the emacs-auctex package must Require a package that provides the
directory "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" since it places a lot of content within 
that location.  Since the emacs-el and emacs-common packages both seem to 
provide that dir, I've filed a blocker bug (167570) in order to sort it out.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2005-09-05 22:42:45 EDT

Then I suggest requiring emacs-common rather than emacs-el.
emacs-el is really just for people who hack/grok elisp and want
to have all the elisp source installed.
Alternatively you could just let emacs-auctex own site-lisp/
or both. :)

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2005-09-05 22:43:41 EDT

Well I would recommend owning site-lisp/ anyway. :)

Comment 4 Ed Hill 2005-09-06 19:48:23 EDT

I just built 11_55-5_fc4 and 11_55-5_fc5 versions that require emacs-common
instead of emacs-el.  So its fixed.

And thanks to Jens for the dir ownership explanation.  I was mistaken about 
how dir ownership works and will keep that in mind for future packages.
