Description of problem: This is really petty, but it would be nice if libgsf-devel could provide libgsf-gnome-devel. It seems to have the same files as the fedora 8 subpackage, but in the main devel package instead of split off. It would just make things easier when rebuilding some fedora src.rpm in RHEL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: [mpeters@jerusalem ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgsf-gnome-1.pc libgsf-devel-1.14.1-6.1 - on F8 system - yum provides /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgsf-gnome-1.pc libgsf-gnome-devel.i386 Additional info: Really minor, just maybe think about it next time you rebuild?
It was split like that in F8 to support the OLPC requirements for more granular packages. It'll be like that in RHEL-6 as well, but for the RHEL perspective I see it as a super minor enhancement. We generally don't mess around splitting packages that are already pushed into a stable release during an update so its not going to happen casually as part of a potential libgsf update.
