I am trying to comile gnucash2. It needs libgoffice and libgoffice-0.1 needs at least libgsf-1.13.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libgsf-1.12.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Additional info:
Well the 1.13 series is technically "unstable", and I don't want to get into supporting an unstable version. 1.12-3 was only released in september. I'm reluctant to move to 1.13.
I would like to add a me too or +1 to this ticket, I would like to update gnumeric in extras to 1.6 which needs libgoffice-0.1.x which needs libgsf >= 1.13.2 . Please reconcider.
As an alternative I might create a libgsf13 package, whot is you opinion on that?
I'm not in favour of putting in a 1.13 under-development package until it's 1.14 as I don't need the pain of api changes right now for libwpd->OOo and whatever else is lurking in the grass. A libgsf13 package sounds good
In the meantime I've made a special libgsf113 package for extras which can be installed next to the core libgsf without any problems. See bug 174266 for the extras review. I've also created a goffice package for extras, see Bug 174267 for the review.
hmm, one of my more gung-ho co-workers has upgraded it anyway :-)
Hmm, Could you add an Obsoletes libgsf113(-devel) to it so that it get rids of libgsf113, this doesn't conflict but ldd on something linked to libgsf might get the extra versions as that adds /usr/lib(64)/libgsf-1.13/lib to the ldpath. I'll update goffice and gnumeric to build against the new in core package (not set a special PKGCONFIG path and change requires). Thanks, Hans
ok, done.
