This early patch changes the spec file to: - remove the old Obsoletes: livir and such, that was 3 years ago - make sure the inter packages require %{version}-%{release} and not just %{version} - compresses the ChangeLog which is getting close to a megabyte - split out a separate libvirt-client binary rpm including only what is needed to access the libvirt service from a client viewpioint. The main package requires the client anyway So I moved in the client: - the shared library, I guess it's uncontroversial - the virsh/virt-xml-validate binaries, I guess it it doesn't block i386/x86_64 to be parallel installable that's fine - the man pages, obvious based on previous - the proxy when built, more controversial, it assumes that there is a service running locally so could be left on the main package - sasl and policykit data, more controversial, I guess it's better to associate them with the client - the schemas to allow checking on the client Some of this is still open, including the name of the subpackage which I initially expected to be libvirt-libs but in retrospect maybe -client will be more in line with the content, Comments welcome :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
