Hallo. Some time ago we started a discussion of the possibility of spec file unification between openSUSE and Fedora.
Very early in this discussion we stated, that both are working around the some problems caused by RPM itself. It costs packagers effort, installation time and packages error-fragility. I tried to collect these problems and I would like to initiate discussion of a clean, effective and (if possible) conservative changes of RPM, which would lead into more clean and more effective rpm packaging and faster installation. Here is an initial draft of the document with a rough draft of possible RPM changes: http://wiki.rpm.org/Problems Particular problems there may have different severity and different complexity. The worst one seems to be Problems of Scriptlets / Database rebuild. Feel free to improve these pages and initiate threads on particular problems on [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ Rpm-maint mailing list Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org https://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint
