Default Changes in our .spec file

Hi,

during discussion with Thomas Anders about the .spec file in SVN we
found out few possible improvements, which need more discussion on this
list.

Fedora splits Net-SNMP to many subpackages - net-snmp (the server),
net-snmp-utils (the clients), net-snmp-libs, net-snmp-perl,
net-snmp-devel and net-snmp-gui (for tkmib). The rpms we distribute at
SF.net download page are split differently and do not force removal of
the Fedora packages, i.e. Fedora's net-snmp-utils won't get removed when
user installs our net-snmp.rpm. The easy solution is to add Conflicts:
and Provides: statements to our .spec to clearly replace Fedora packages.

Question is, whether we want such Fedora-only dependencies in the .spec.
And another question is what about other distros - quick look at
Mandriva shows, that they have completely different packaging of Net-SNMP.


Second issue is that most distributions provide sample configuration
file in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. Why don't we distribute one?

Jan
