Subject: [PATCH] Rename git-core rpm to just git and rename the meta-pacakge to git-all.
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:29:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1203100163-17509-1-git-send-email-krh@redhat.com> (raw)
---
So here's change to fix my favorite annoyance with the git rpm
packaging: don't pull in tla when I say yum install git! The decision
to make 'git' a metapackage is to say the least unconventional and
continues to surprise people (here's today discussion:
http://marc.info/?t=120309228600004&r=1&w=2).
I know it's late and most people who use the git rpms are used to installing
git-core by now, but myself and most of my Red Hat co-workers (who should
know a thing or two about rpm packaging) have been fooled by the 'git'
rpm that pulls in everything. There's really no precendence for this, quite
the opposite: you wouldn't expect yum install gcc to pull in fortran, right?
The patch below only affects people who know that 'git' is a metapackage
and actually use that to pull in everything (but who does?). The patch
renames the 'git-core' rpm to just 'git', but adds a 'Provides: git-core'
there so people who have trained themselves to say yum install git-core
wont get burned.
cheers,
Kristian
