[Mageia-dev] about ruby updates and some broken dependancies

Sun Nov 4 18:13:25 CET 2012

We already have the similar problem in the period of mandriva, packages
+with same names but different archs won't be deleted from repository. Maybe
+somebody could check youri's code to fix this problem.
+
+As for the deps list, I think this page shows them all:
+http://check.mageia.org/cauldron/missing.html
+
+And, there are some packages cannot be uploaded due to rpmlint polciy for
+filenames, which I cannot deal with :( Personally, I don't think we should
+check package file list for restricted filenames.
+
+Regards.

+> There's a little problem with ruby updates in Cauldron : as shikamaru is

+> http://check.mageia.org/cauldron/shikamaru/dependencies.html
+>
+> indeed, in cauldron repository we have coexisting ruby-*-doc packages as

+> version of some doc rpm which didn't have the noarch suffix:
+> for instance
+> ruby-BlueCloth-doc-2.2.0-3.mga3         remains besides
+> ruby-BlueCloth-doc-2.2.0-4.mga3.noarch
+>
+> Perhaps  sysadmin will have to remove  some ruby-*-doc rpm  if they
+> don't explicitely have mga3.noarch extension
+>
+> here is a list of few examples of rpm that have to be  removed in 586
+> and x86_64 repositories :
+> ruby-atk-doc-1.0.3-1.mga2
+> ruby-BlueCloth-doc-2.2.0-3.mga3
+> ruby-curb-doc-0.7.15-1.mga1
+> ruby-eventmachine-doc-0.12.10-3.mga1
+>
+> we can explore the whole repo or simply use
+> http://check.mageia.org/cauldron/shikamaru/dependencies.html
+> to get the list
+>
+> Same for some other non doc rpms
+> ruby-em-http-request-0.3.0-1.mga1 remains besides
+> ruby-em-http-request-1.0.3-2.mga3.noarch
+>
+> Hope this will help to decrease the number of "broken dependancies" (at
+> least 60  will be resolved...)
