Q: Splitting existing pkg into subpackages?!
by Alec Leamas
Hi all!
Feeling dumb (again...) I have a package which I now need to split into
subpackages. Also, I want the original package to just be an empty one
pulling in all the new subpackages, giving a smooth upgrade path
(installing the base package installs everything, as it used to be).
My problems are the deps. Is there a way to add a Requires: *only* to
the base package? This is really what I want to do, but adding it among
the others will let also the sub-packages inherit it which becomes a
mess. Or am I just thinking in the wrong direction?
This must be done so many times... anyone, out there?
Cheers!

ode updated to 0.13.1 in rawhide, all packages using it need to be rebuild (abi and soname change)
by Hans de Goede
Hi All,
I've just started a build of ode for rawhide updating it to 0.13.1,
it includes some changes which break the abi, and upstream has bumped
the soname because of this, so all packages using it need to be rebuild.
I expect a simple rebuild to suffice in most cases, for a detailed list
of ABI / API changes see:
http://upstream-tracker.org/compat_reports/ode/0.12_to_0.13/abi_compat_re...
I'll take care of rebuilding machineball, raydium and stormbaancoureur myself,
for the other packages please queue a rebuild as soon as you've the time.
Given the soname change at this point in time I've no plans to update ode
for F-21 (or older releases). If you need ode 0.13.1 in F-21 please let me know,
and we can work on a coordinated update for it.
Thanks & Regards,
Hans
