Comment 2 Stefan Hundhammer 2006-11-21 10:46:13 UTC
I wonder if we can't use real dependencies for that kind of thing now. Those hard-coded package lists look awfully error-prone to me.
Comment 3 Klaus Kämpf 2006-11-21 12:11:50 UTC
Fully agreed, they are error prone.
For PCI hardware, we have 'modutils' dependencies (see http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Dependencies/Hardware)
In this specific case (ibmsis), its a mainboard/cpu dependency which probably can only be expressed by HAL. libzypp supports HAL dependencies, but HAL doesn't provide the needed information - yet.

For now, we have to live with Packages.ycp
Comment 4 Olaf Hering 2006-11-21 12:44:48 UTC
will this work in SP1?
If so, iprutils, mouseemu and maybe the other listed ppc packages can be switched to the modalias stuff.
I plan to use the few Apple PCI bridges or whatever will fit.
Comment 5 Klaus Kämpf 2006-11-21 12:50:10 UTC
The modalias dependencies are fully supported in Code10
Comment 6 Ladislav Slezák 2006-11-21 15:30:12 UTC
Olaf, according to comment #4 -- which packages can be removed from the hardcoded list?
Comment 7 Olaf Hering 2006-11-21 15:31:47 UTC
just use the attached patch for 10.2
Comment 8 Ladislav Slezák 2006-11-22 08:36:31 UTC
