Re: [RFC] SPEC, RPM and SRPMS files for gnome 2.0 Alpha release

[Chris Chabot <chabotc reviewboard com>]

Ps, on the topic of dependencies of the gnome packages.

I am currently writing a tool that parses the configure.in files of each 
gnome2 package, and extracts the PKG_CHECK_MODULES lines from it, and 
compiles a complete
   package_requires >= min_version

list for each package.

Since the configure.in file has a lot better specification for each 
dependency (complete, and acurate version info for each dep), it would 
be a great starting place for accurate dependencies in the RPM's.

Last, it's just to much damn work to do by hand ;-)

When i finish the tool, i will submit it and its results to the 
gnome-packaging-list.
