The original request to FESCo was for a decision on whether a package
built in COPR could `Requires: rpmfusion-foo` from RPMFusion. However,
with the new availability of weak dependencies, I've expanded the
discussion to include whether it would be acceptable in COPR or Fedora
proper to use `Recommends: rpmfusion-foo` or `Suggests: rpmfusion-foo`.
If we decide that the weak dependencies are acceptable, this would
make it much easier for users to install codecs, etc. from RPMFusion
(always assuming of course that they are legally permitted to do so
wherever they are). In effect, it would become possible to do this
easily at install-time because just adding the RPMFusion repos
manually in the installer could then result in pulling in Recommended
codecs.
I figure this is of particular interest to the Workstation SIG, so I'm
raising it here.
Ha, I had the same thought and you've beat me to it. Well done.
