As far as I can understand the modules idea and while looking into those yaml files of ant and cmake for instance, I fail see why modules should work without any spec file and therefore also why without rpmbuild. The modules idea seems to be more about how to have a possibility to build a bunch of packages in their own dependency tree for a custom branch (and on which base system that branch should ever work). So in my opinion, modules can never work without any base system built completely from without modules. What I like about modules is that it obsoletes the need to check for the target distribution inside of the spec file (that's now handled with a branch in git). What I don't like is that all dependencies have to get repeated in the yaml file. What real problem do we try to solve? Please calm down and just my 5ct. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
