Product: automake1.6
Component: packaging
Summary: should be parallel installable with 1.4p6 and 1.6.x
Version: 1.7.2-1mdk
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Automake 1.4p6, 1.6.x and 1.7.x are all parallel installable, since they all contain
versioned directories and binaries, except:
* /usr/bin/automake
* /usr/bin/aclocal
* info files
the first two can be solved with alternatives, and info files from older automake can
be installed in %doc of corresponding packages.
Usually, software will bind tightly to specific version(s) of automake (common cases
are 1.4p? only, or >= 1.6 only), and currently the common practice is to call the
versioned automake, e.g.
%prep
%setup -q
%patch0 -p1 -b .blah
# this software needs automake 1.4
aclocal-1.4
automake-1.4
instead of executing un-versioned automake.
If 1.7.x can be packaged separately from 1.6.x and have 1.6.x kept in cooker, then
it's even better.
