No, it is usually not enough. In the current state, Yum could use any version of an egtk-common package as a dependency. The mentioned line was an example, directly taken from the guidelines. In our case, you have to change it as follows: Requires: %{name}-common = %{version}-%{release} Imagine, the developers decide to stop with the xfce part, then the egtk-xfce subpackage remains in an older version and could become buggy. The explicite version number in the "Requires" line avoids this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
