Re: Base vs EPEL check

Hi,
Is there any repository checking being done automatically to make sure
packages in the EPEL repository do not conflict with the base
repository?
Not that I know of. It would be best done with local access to all
packages, so one can really compare all files (and do symlink vs.
directory and permission conflicts checks, too).
Just curious. Seems like some of aspell packages do.
I only have an unfinished conflicts checker for remote repositories.
For i386 it finds:
dahdi-tools-2.0.0-2.el5.i386
File conflict with: zaptel-utils-1.4.11-1.el5.i386
/usr/sbin/fxotune
/usr/share/man/man8/fxotune.8.gz
dahdi-tools-libs-2.0.0-2.el5.i386
File conflict with: zaptel-lib-1.4.11-1.el5.i386
/usr/lib/libtonezone.so.1.0
For EPEL 4 the results are worse (the first one is particularly
embarrassing and looks like typical %dist mass-build madness):
gsl-static-1.10-10.el4.i386
File conflict with: gsl-devel-1.5-2.rhel4.i386

/usr/lib/libgslcblas.a
