libedit-devel should require ncurses-devel
Last modified: 2009-02-04 21:21:34 EST
Description of problem: libedit requires ncurses and reflecting that libedit-devel should require ncurses-devel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libedit-2.11-1.20080712cvs.fc10 Steps to Reproduce: This is causing a problem for ghc (Haskell compiler) when trying to link its editline library which is linked to libedit. Actual results: $ rpm -q --requires libedit | grep ncurses libncurses.so.5()(64bit) $ rpm -q --requires libedit-devel | grep ncurses $ Expected results: libedit to require ncurses-devel. Additional info: I note that libedit-20090111-3.0 was also released upstream. I am happy to fix and update the package if you don't have time.
I've added ncurses-devel as a requirement for libedit-devel and issues builds/updates. Updating to libedit-20090111-3.0. I'm less sure about. I know it's a ways off but perhaps it'd be better to wait and put 3.0 into rawhide once it switches over to F12 development.
Thanks, Jeff, appreciate the fast response. :) I'll move this to F10 so that it can closed when the update gets pushed.

Looking at the following ChangeLog entry, it does not look like that big a change in the library even though the soname has changed. I am inclined to wait till Alpha is out and then evaluate the effect on all dependent packages, and if possible push out an update before Beta. ---- 2009-01-11 Jess Thrysoee * version-info: 0:28:0 * all: sync with upstream source. MAJOR.MINOR version is now 3.0. This is due to NetBSD changing time_t and dev_t to 64 bits. It does not really effect this package. * configure.ac: Remove '--enable-debug' configure flag. The autoconf way to control flags is by specifying them when running configure, e.g. 'CFLAGS="-O0 -g" ./configure' ---- What do you think?

Only the minor revision of the soname changed so there shouldn't be any broken dependencies if we push it - I did a test mock build of 3.0 but I didn't install it. There's around 80 days until the final release so that should be plenty of time to shake out any problems, when I first commented I didn't realize that we had that long.
