I may try to build rpms for openSuse... I should have 3 or 4 opensuse versions available to build harbour on...
I need to ask a question: if I install the mysql client and build harbour to activate mysql integration, the user that install that rpm must also have the mysql client installed ????? I ask this because from what I understand, rpm building is now "monolithic", there is one rpm with all the stuff, mandatory or optional. So to be useful to everybody I should build a rpm with all the options included (mysql, ads...) But I imagine that for the users, to have these options working, they should also have the "clients" installed so I should set the "clients" as pre-requisites... but with these requirements I force everybody to install mysql client, ads client etc. Or better, I may build with every option set, but with no dependencies at all .... but if the client installation is required I will give the users the idea that mysql integration is available while it is not ... Another option would be to have the packages split: the first one, monolithic, is the "base" package, the "mandatory" one. All the optional packages have the "base" package as pre-requisite and each one has its own "client" pre-requistite... a bit like the php packaging... So every user may install the base package and the install only the optional that he needs.... Let me know your idea, Francesco _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
