[Libvirt-cim] [PATCH] Fix RPM dependency in libvirt-cim

[Dan Smith]

This is only for the RPM, of course, and I'm aiming at the Fedora
environment.  If any other platforms want to use this spec, then we
might need to tweak it, however, I'm not aware of any distros that
include sfcb.

KR> What if you're using Pegasus but you don't have tog-pegasus
KR> installed (only sblim-cmpi-devel).

If you're using Pegasus, have sblim-cmpi-devel installed, and try to
compile the provider (and libcmpiutil) against it, you'll generate
broken binaries.  However, I don't think that people who have Pegasus
installed from source are likely to try to install/build this RPM, as
they would have to disable dependency checking.

KR> Although, forcing Pegasus users to use tog-pegasus-devel instead
KR> of sblim-cmpi-devel is probably reasonable.

In the context of a Fedora build, I think we need to explicitly mark
packages that will cause broken binaries to be build as Conflicts.  We
could, however, make the .spec generated with the correct
Requires/Conflicts items based on what CIMOM you told configure to
use.

Perhaps someone more familiar with RPM building could step in here
with an authoritative answer.
