would it be possible to conditionnalize only the problematic dep and not the whole tools package ?
Why? We don't use the -tools package in RHEL.
nim-nim, Can patch be applied then?
nim-nim, I am trying to understand for what purpose fedora-packager is needed as a dependency in -tools package. Can you help me to understand it?
(In reply to comment #5) > nim-nim, > I am trying to understand for what purpose fedora-packager is needed as a > dependency in -tools package. Can you help me to understand it? I think it's only used to compute package owners via /usr/bin/fedoradev-pkgowners in /usr/bin/repo-font-audit So the correct thing for RHEL is probably to patch this part out without breaking the rest of the script, and remove the dep from the tools subpackage
nim-nim, Is it ok if for RHEL, consolidate function be skipped from repo-font-audit?
nim-nim, That would be nice if you can clarify how providing -tools in RHEL is useful. unfortunately even I have no idea for that.
nim-nim ping
I tried to remove the call for fedoradev-pkgowners and consolidated output got changed but this resulted in all subsequent test outputs in file to get moved one column left. Its not easy to modify all the script. Better to drop -tools subpackage for RHEL.
nim-nim, I come to conclusion that adding conditional for RHEL to remove -tools is the only good option instead to modify all the parts of the script repo-font-audit. We need to patch spec file.
Can't you just replace the call with something that inserts an empty value ? That will produce and empty column, but it's good enough to let the rest of the tests run, no?
Parag, perhaps you can attach your current patch for review/comments?
nim-nim, if that is what you like to see then I will prepare a patch for that.
