You should ignore rpmlint complaints about missing documentation when
there is
no documentation to be had. You shouldn't fabricate documentation or duplicate
it from the main package just to make the complaint go away.
Understood.
Perhaps you don't understand the distinction between the regular
package
dependencies and scriptlet dependencies. Package dependencies simply need to
be satisfied in order for the package to work, so rpm ensures that they are
installed by the end of the transaction. Scriptlets may run at other times
(during the transaction, either before or after the package is installed,
upgraded or removed) and so any dependencies they may have needs to be
specified so that rpm will ensure those dependencies are present when the
scriptlets run. Or, to put it another way, simply having the package depend on
something called in the scriptlets is not sufficient.
Thanks for the heads up,I was indeed not aware of the differences. I am reading
the information I can find for this.
The "many duplicates in files" issue refers to the
duplicated documentation.
Thanks.
Re. the md5 inclusion: would it help if I make a separate libmd5 package? I
whipped up a quick autofoo configuration, so I could package this as a separate
package. I would not know what license to put in the spec file.... If that
would help I can add a simple check for libmd5 in ffgtk's config and be done
with it. comments?
