Description Stanislav Brabec 2005-10-03 17:03:07 UTC 
Trying rpmbuild for some packages (like gstreamer-plugins), it fails on missing
ghostscript-mini, which is not on media.

It should be fixed either by adding it to media or in Autobuild by replacing
ghostscript-mini in BuildRequires by something, which is present on media.
Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-10-04 09:47:44 UTC 
ghostscript-mini is an INTERNAL package only to speed up the
build cycle times.  It is rather useless on any media bvecause
it is not usable due missing printer devices.

The bug is simply the choise of ghostscript-mini in the
BuildRequires ... therefoe reassign to gnome-maintainers.
Comment 2 Ruediger Oertel 2005-10-04 10:37:26 UTC 
werner: is it ok if we remove the INTERNAL setting from ghostscript-mini 
and ship it as part of the ftp version ?
Comment 3 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-10-04 10:47:28 UTC 
It is OK as long as we state that nobdy can print
with ghostscript-mini because this package is used
as small replacment for the real ghostscript-library
to fullfil the BuildRequires _only_.

Any bug report about ghostscript-mini will be ignored
be me.
Comment 4 Stanislav Brabec 2005-10-04 10:59:44 UTC 
Maybe better would be following solution:

- All ghostcript packages will contain a virtual symbol, for example:

Provides: ghostscript

Autobuild will replace ghostscript-mini by ghostscript while creating
BuildRequires from neededforbuild.

It will make rpmbuild happy and you can keep ghostscript-mini as internal.

Re-assigning to rudi because its really a build system issue.
Comment 6 Ruediger Oertel 2006-01-11 14:20:33 UTC 
Micha: maybe we have an idea for this sometime ...

decreasing to "normal"
