Hi all
During installation of Beta2, I found packages in RPM Groups, I never
expected them to be. For example:
perl-Apache-AuthCookie => Development/Languages/Perl
perl-SVN-Simple => Development/Languages/Perl
vs.
perl-SOAP-Lite => Development/Libraries/Perl
perl-Apache-AuthNetLDAP => Development/Libraries/Perl
Referring to the SUSE Package Conventions:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/SUSE_Package_Conventions
"The group Development/Languages is intended for tools that are useful
or even necessary for developing in a particular programming language.
This is the right place for compilers, interpreters, and programming
language–dependent tools."
[...]
"The group Development/Libraries is intended for packages that allow
developing with a library. [...] Here, developers should find all
available libraries that can be used in more projects."
So in summary for me: We should use ONE Group for Perl-Modules and ONE
Group for packages that extend the compiler of a language.
But this doesn't only happen to Perl - nearly all other programming
languages are affected.
It's very easy to check this yourself: start "yast2 sw_single &" and
have a look at the package groups...
As we can't check the correct group automatically at the moment, I'm
asking every packager: please have a look at the RPM Group of your
package. And adjust it if necessary.
Thank you in advance!
With kind regards
Lars
