Description of problem: "pear makerpm" does not generate any RPM deps for other PEAR packages. This has been fixed (to some extent - see bug #173804) upstream (see http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=1870 and latest PEAR package) but version of PEAR bundled with stable PHP dist is quite a number of versions behind (1.3.5 v 1.4.4), even with the version of PHP in devel. I have produced a small patch which is not a backport (it was developed independently) but applies against older versions of PEAR such as that included with FC4 and fixes "makerpm" to generate at least some RPM dependencies. Whilst the right fix is to update to the latest PEAR, this is a big pain - at least unless/until bug #173810 is resolved and/or upstream PHP stable includes a newer PEAR version (which no doubt it will in due course, but that doesn't help now). Patch does not include any deps on actual core PEAR version - see bug #173806. If 173806 is fixed, PEAR deps could be generated. Patch also does not include any deps on PHP modules/extensions. If bug #173804 is fixed, section which generates deps on PHP modules/extensions can be uncommented and will work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php-pear-5.0.4-10.5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. pear makerpm SomePackage-x.y.z.tgz (any package that requires another PEAR package) Actual results: Observe generated RPM spec file and see that it does not have Requires: PEAR::XXX where XXX is the required package Expected results: RPM spec file has Requires: PEAR::XXX
Created attachment 121299 [details] adds RPM dependencies on other PEAR packages and has some commented-out sections showing how other deps could be generated

This bug can be closed now that php-pear has been upgraded to 1.4.5 which incorporates the fix upstream.
