You can make the assumption that if you flip the weak attribute strong for repoclosure and installcheck purposes that you've caught all the necessary cases for dealing with dependency shifts like obsoletes. This is a problem I've stared deep in the face for literally years at this point. While you're technically correct that there's tons of variation for usage, there is not for specifically dependency checking. Rich dependencies with boolean clauses are the ones that make things complex, not weak dependencies. That's when you need to start "testing" dependency statements. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

To be complete, it includes the combinatorial complexity of all the different components, installed one by one, in deifferent sequiences, with weak dependencies turned on and off for each different component, each version of the component, and all the different components that may be obsoleted, added, or conflicted with the *next* update.

Weak dependencies are not hard to deal with. There are two ways to treat them in repoclosure: treat them as Requires or ignore them. Right now, we ignore them, but we could easily modify our repoclosure to treat them as Requires. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

Felix Adam mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but there are folks who care about this but we also have many other things to take care of. This is something that is on my radar to add to Fedora CI but there are a bunch of other things which need to be done first and I've not gotten to the point where I've even written down these plans in a coherant fashion. As we get closer to making it a reality, I'll be writing about it more.

The issues for this are: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6365 https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7931 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1565257 if anyone can help fix it, we'd definitely appreciate that.

The problem with that check is that it just checks if all dependencies are provided by other packages, but it doesn't check if they can be installed at the same time. So if I would have package with Requires: foo + Conflicts: foo, that check won't tell anything. Same applies to rich dependencies "with", it just checks if one condition is provided by anything so this check is not useful for packages with rich dependencies at all… > > Vít > > > > Dne 09. 06. 19 v 17:17 Igor Gnatenko napsal(a): > > Hello, > > > > I've noticed that people keep pushing updates which have broken > > dependencies. > > > > For example, python-kombu was updated from 4.6.0 to 4.6.1.

Re: Do people not care about broken dependencies?
+1 to prevent broken dependencies to be pushed into stable. If Fedora aims to be a "polished"/"user friendly" distro users should never have to deal with broken dependencies. Also packages with broken dependencies should not be part of a release (maybe not auto-retired if they are still ok for other releases).

There used to be sent nagging email about broken dependencies, but it is not sent anymore. I last received such email on 11th of March 2018, so probably we don't really care ...
