Hello All!
RPM shipped with Fedora 21+ has support for weak dependencies. What's
the current status of that feature? Is it ok to start using them
(building RPM with Recommends/Suggests tags)?
I don't think it is ok to start using them for now. We don't have any packaging
guidelines on their usage.
I have a real-world example where I'd like to mark a dependency as
Suggests instead of Requires and want to know if dnf is ready to
process it?
I played with Recommends in one case and it actually worked as expected. Even
package uninstalls and updates honored the dependency semantics as
expected. However I think it is because libsolv's logic and not some explicit
handling in dnf.
