Description Aleksey Nogin 2009-12-17 18:06:13 UTC
OMake does not require OCaml at runtime (only at build time) and can be used (and often used) for compiling pure C/C++ projects without any OCaml in them. The current name implies that OMake is a part of OCaml world - while in fact OMake is an independent tool, that just happens to be written in OCaml and is also happens to have a build recipes library for compiling OCaml projects.

Also, the "legacy" package that I have provided for years was always called "omake".

TIA!

P.S. I am one of the OMake co-authors.

I don't mind, but renaming packages in Fedora is a rather
tedious process.

We could add a virtual provides instead:

Provides: omake

which would mean that anyone could install it by doing:

yum install omake

I don't know whether that would be enough to satisfy this
request?

Comment 2 Aleksey Nogin 2009-12-17 18:33:19 UTC
Richard, I think that "Provides: omake" would probably be good enough. Thanks!

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-12-17 18:50:56 UTC
Fixed in Rawhide by adding "Provides: omake".
