#61: Fedora Packaging Guidelines: Weak Dependencies on packages from third-party repos -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: maxamillion | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: meeting | -------------------------+---------------------
Comment (by cwickert):
I'm conflicted about this. I agree to kevin's concerns in comment:5, namely that we don't want to bless any 3rd party repos. We can only bless what we control.
If we allow dependencies on packages from 3rd party repos, then * we should only allow it for "Suggests". "Recommends" should be limited to our own repos. * we need to think think carefully what dependencies we allow. Only package names or also on files?
