Description

There are some scripts that need 'ifup' from 'initscripts' package. Though it is not a hard dependency as there is fallback path in the script that calls 'ifup'. So, we can probably remove this dependency if 'initscripts' package is being deprecated. If it is not a hard dependency, then it should be removed. Can the dependency be removed since it seems it not required at all. For Fedora >= 23, this may be a good candidate for change Requires to Suggests. 'dnf' will not install Suggests packages by default, and will allow the dependent package to be removed. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-July/212181.html (In reply to Marcel Holtmann from comment #3) > Can the dependency be removed since it seems it not required at all. Yes, so it seems. I've rebuilt the latest package with the requirement removed. open-vm-tools-9.10.2-2.fc21 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 21. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-14336 open-vm-tools-9.10.2-2.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-14337 open-vm-tools-9.10.2-2.fc22 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 22. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-14338 open-vm-tools-9.10.2-2.fc22 works open-vm-tools-9.10.2-2.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository.
