Topic: [request/info] add virtual package name to mysql-*.remi
We'd love to be able to use the Remi MySQL server and client builds as dependencies for our application (Zenoss). However, we found that the client rpm doesn't officially provide the virtual package name mysql-client. This makes it very difficult, since we want to also interchangeable use the official Oracle Community Editions. Is there a particular reason to not add mysql-client as an additional virtual package name? If not it would be great if this could be added?
Here is the official Oracle RPM:
# rpm -qp MySQL-client-5.5.13-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm --provides
MySQL-client
mysql-client
MySQL-client = 5.5.13-1.rhel5
Here is the Remi RPM:
# rpm -q mysql-5.5.20-1.el5.remi --provides
mysql = 5.5.20-1.el5.remi
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
