On the other hand, I'd love to see the Requires being done scrictly by those packages that actually need the thing. The spacewalk rpm should require just the minimum needed list of "top level" rpms which will the pull in the rest, instead of serving as a comps. That way, when some rpm is no longer needed down the line, we just remove it from the rpm that immediatelly used to need it, and it will be gone automatically. I believe spacewalk-setup calls something from cobbler so maybe that (and also spacewalk-java?) should be the rpm which ought to Require it. -- Jan Pazdziora | adelton at #satellite*, #brno Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
