Only that allows duplicate > versions of something My hope is that the `lesspipe` in the `less` package can be extracted out. There were similar opinions voiced when that was included in `less`, e.g. @[email protected] mentioned that in the ML thread last time. I tried to contact @[email protected] internally to get him to respond to the proposal here, but apart from his disapproval, I did not get any more information on the why that I could forward you. I see that he responded to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2445448, but I disagree with his opinion. `less` requiring `lesspipe` to function for the user is *orthogonal* to how `lesspipe` is being packaged. That is why we have `Requires`. I want to request from Michal a more detailed explanation on why the `lesspipe` should not be packaged separately and added in the `Requires` of `less`. As the spec file indicates this version has much more testing and dependencies that it can and should run. --- @Andreas, the Recommends/Suggests that the author provided are also orthogonal with whether they should be in the spec file. Unless these actively affect the execution of `lesspipe`, please remove them, otherwise please explain in more detail how they are linked to `lesspipe`. `libreoffice`, `pandoc` etc. do not seem relevant. Also please avoid using the `Requires: /usr/bin/*` and instead depend on the actual packages that provide them. This would avoid issues when multiple packages provide the same named binary, changes in the filestructure, etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
