I would appreciate a patch for RPM building after 0.99.4, but the tentative solution for 0.99.4 (and current "master" branch since last night) is to ship the problematic program as part of the sources under "contrib" status, but not install nor include in the resulting binary package. The dependency list for the RPM built from the tip of "rc" branch now reads like this (thanks Chris for teaching me how to get this information). This will hopefully be the one that becomes the official 0.99.4. $ rpm -qp ~/rpms/RPMS/i386/git-core-0.99.4-1.i386.rpm --requires /bin/sh /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/perl diffutils libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) libcrypto.so.4 libcurl.so.3 libssl.so.4 libz.so.1 mktemp >= 1.5 perl(File::Basename) perl(File::Path) perl(File::Spec) perl(File::Temp) perl(Getopt::Std) perl(IO::Pipe) perl(IO::Socket) perl(POSIX) perl(Time::Local) perl(strict) perl(warnings) rcs rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rsync sh-utils - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

No, you probably missed the earlier thread on this. It's not a bug, those are real dependencies which rpm automagically discovers (along with things like shared library dependencies). The issue is the git-send-email-script uses Mail/Sendmail.pm and Email/Valid.pm which aren't part of standard install. Your choices are to grab the relevant packages, do an install with --nodeps (and know that git-send-email-script will not work), make a subpackage for that script so it can have its own dependencies, or move that script to elsewhere so it's not scanned for depenedency info. thanks, -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Actually this may be more of a problem with Fedora Core / RedHat
dependency generation and checking.
As far as the RPM *build* is concerned this looks pretty harmless to
me:
BuildRequires: zlib-devel, openssl-devel, curl-devel
%{!?_without_docs:, xmlto, asciidoc > 6.0.3}
...
Prereq: sh-utils, diffutils, rsync, rcs, mktemp >= 1.5
But the RPM itself seems to contain additional information about
required packages:
# rpm -q --requires -p /usr/local/RPMS/i386/git-core-0.99.3-1.i386.rpm
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/env
/usr/bin/perl
diffutils
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
libcrypto.so.4
libcurl.so.2
libssl.so.4
libz.so.1
mktemp >= 1.5
perl(Data::Dumper)
perl(Email::Valid)
perl(File::Basename)
perl(File::Path)
perl(File::Spec)
perl(File::Temp)
perl(Getopt::Long)
perl(Getopt::Std)
perl(IO::Pipe)
perl(IO::Socket)
perl(Mail::Sendmail)
perl(POSIX)
perl(Term::ReadLine)
perl(Time::Local)
perl(strict)
perl(warnings)
rcs
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
rsync
sh-utils
It's then the "perl(Email::Valid)" and "perl(Mail::Sendmail)" depen-
dencies which cause problems. I installed all perl packages and
modules I was able to find in the standard FC places, but this did
not solve the problem. Maybe this is actually a bug in Fedora Core ?

I think it's a valid, possibly vital, part of the suggested workflow for maintainers of projects.

I agree that the RPM dependency problem is a good reason to not install it by default. What I will do is make this the beginning of my directory structure reorganization. I'll probably also convert the Debian package to a multi-package system, so we have a demonstration of splitting these two items up. -- Ryan Anderson sometimes Pug Majere - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The problematic one is git-send-email-script. I have to admit that it was a mistake to take that patch; I was trying to be _too_ inclusive. The script does not even read from nor write into a git repository, and the only relevance to git is that it is useful for people to patchbomb the list with git generated patches. In other words, the program may be useful, but its usefulness does not have much to do with git, so it does not belong to git. My short-term plan is to downgrade it to "contrib" status, and not touch it from the main Makefile. It will be in the 0.99.4 sources but will not be installed nor made into binary package. I hope Ryan does not mind this decision. After we audit the set of tools we currently ship, along with some other scripts/programs, either we remove it altogether from our source tree, or create a contrib/ subdirectory and move it there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Something like that using %{_datadir} is in the RC branch.
