[Mono-devel-list] rpm packaging from CVS

[Brett Lentz (Excell Data Corporation)]

Thanks for the update.

However, I'm curious about the potential problems with how these specs
define the Provides and Requires elements.

In every spec, they Provide a 'ximian-foo' package, yet the Requires
simply indicates package 'foo'.

For example, fedora-2-i386-mono.spec says:

	%package -n mono-runtime-devel 
	Provides:	ximian-mono-runtime-devel 

And fedora-2-i386-gtksourceview-sharp.spec says:

	BuildRequires:	mono-runtime-devel


Won't this have rpm complaining about missing/wrong dependencies at
install time because the semantics aren't consistent?
