I thought we could do this by creating a husk RPM that depends on having the separate real fedfs-utils RPMs installed.

The current situation is a mix of a) allowing users to install just the pieces they need, and b) Fedora packaging requirements (like the -lib and -devel packages being separate) > There are a couple of exceptions, such as the lib package and possibly > the need to be able to install nfsref separately and maybe a need to > keep nsdbparams also but then we come back to having too many really > small packages. Right, there's no way around it if we start breaking pieces out into their own package. > So I'm still thinking about that. > What are your thoughts on it? We could go back to an nfs-utils model, where all the pieces are installed by a single RPM, with separate -lib, -debuginfo, and -devel packages. That may be more convenient than having separate packages. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com _______________________________________________ fedfs-utils-devel mailing list [email protected] https://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/fedfs-utils-devel
