Hi all,
I woulde be interested in comments whether to place libntfs-gnome-vfs (the
newly merged libntfs module for GNOME VFS) in a separate rpm or to keep it
in the normal ntfsprogs rpm. At present both are in the same rpm.
I am tempted to leave them in one rpm but it does have the drawback that
the ntfsprogs rpm now has more dependencies in that it requires glib and a
whole lot of other stuff (here is a full list of the added requirements:
/bin/sh libbonobo-activation.so.4 libcom_err.so.3 libcrypto.so.4
libdl.so.2 libgconf-2.so.4 libglib-2.0.so.0 libgmodule-2.0.so.0
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libgobject-2.0.so.0 libgssapi_krb5.so.2
libgthread-2.0.so.0 libk5crypto.so.3 libkrb5.so.3 liblinc.so.1 libm.so.6
libORBit-2.so.0 libpthread.so.0 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2) libresolv.so.2 librt.so.1 libssl.so.4
libxml2.so.2 libz.so.1).
Do people think this is ok or do we need two rpms one without dependencies
on gnome and one with?
Also do we want to modify the build process so that if gnome is not
installed or if gnome is disabled using a (to be implemented) option to
./configure we can still build libntfs and the utilities? If we wanted to
do this I think we would definitely need to make two different rpms, one
without libntfs-gnomevfs and one with just libntfs-gnomevfs.
Comments?
Best regards,
Anton
