Description Björn Voigt 2005-12-04 21:55:01 UTC 
I tested the package horde-3.0.7-2.i586.rpm from SuSE Linux 10.1 alpha3 and found some minor packaging problems there:

1) The architecture of horde is "noarch" and not "i586"
2) The configuration files have no "noreplace"-tag (I think this is better)
3) The test.php file will be installed, but leaving this may be a security risk
4) Some build requirements are not really necessary for building horde (for instance the C development packages)
5) The horde/config/.htaccess file will be deleted (but this file enhances security)

Hint: The PLD-distribution has an interesting horde SRPM file (ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/2.0/PLD/SRPMS/SRPMS/horde-3.0.5-4.src.rpm) with some patches. Also PLD includes some other Horde applications like horde-imp.

Reassigning this to the maintainer of this package.

Thanks!

Good points (strictly speaking, *.mo files aren't noarch, since they are
little / big endian, but that shouldn't be an issue).

Well, this is required by all SUSE SRPMS, it ensures some "standard"
build environment. The # neededforbuild line should give you a hint on
what's _really_ needed to build a particular package.

There should be an imp RPM in (open)SUSE soon as well

Fixed for 10.1.
