I just fixed it in cooker, and submitted an update less intrusive into Mageia/1.

s/cooker/cauldron/, you fixed this yourself.

The submission has failed to Mageia/1 for some reasons.

shouldn't it go into updates/testing first?
if you submit there, please assign this bug to QA and put yourself in the cc of this bug

I submitted it in core/update_testing of course.

Olivier, could you please write an update advisory so we know what you have done and can work out how to test.

Thankyou.

Really, I don't know what to say... I did not introduce the issue (It appear because someone did want to follow MDV packaging).
Is this enough ?:

"This update ensure all requirement are installed to have gnuplot working perfectly".

Olivier, for QA we have to know what to test for, so we need to know what has changed. Please refer to the updates policy on Mageia wiki for future updates to Mageia 1, it differs from Cauldron.

Thankyou :)



Working on the assumption you have now included the postscript in the gnuplot rpm..

x86_64

Before
------

# urpme -a gnuplot
To satisfy dependencies, the following 4 packages will be removed (6.7MB):
  gnuplot-4.4.3-1.mga1.x86_64
  gnuplot-doc-4.4.3-1.mga1.x86_64
  gnuplot-mode-4.4.3-1.mga1.x86_64
  gnuplot-nox-4.4.3-1.mga1.x86_64
Remove 4 packages? (y/N) y

# rm -rf /usr/share/gnuplot

# urpmi --no-suggests gnuplot

# ls /usr/share/gnuplot/4.4/PostScript/
ls: cannot access /usr/share/gnuplot/4.4/PostScript/: No such file or directory


After
-----
# urpmi.update --no-ignore "Core Updates Testing"
# urpmi --no-suggests gnuplot
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
   Package                        Version      Release       Arch
(medium "Core Updates Testing")
  gnuplot                        4.4.3        2.mga1        x86_64
  gnuplot-doc                    4.4.3        2.mga1        x86_64
2.6MB of additional disk space will be used.
1.9MB of packages will be retrieved.
Proceed with the installation of the 2 packages? (Y/n)y

# ls /usr/share/gnuplot/4.4/PostScript/
8859-15.ps  8859-2.ps  aglfn.txt  cp1251.ps  cp850.ps  koi8r.ps  prologue.ps
8859-1.ps   8859-9.ps  cp1250.ps  cp437.ps   cp852.ps  koi8u.ps  utf-8.ps



So it appears you have changed the 'suggests' on gnuplot-doc to a hard 'require'. As gnuplot-doc will be provided in updates this won't be affected by bug 2317.

For testing I downloaded the tarball from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gnuplot/gnuplot/4.4.3/gnuplot-4.4.3.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fgnuplot%2Ffiles%2Fgnuplot%2F4.4.3%2F&ts=1328548522&use_mirror=freefr (direct link)

Extracted the demo directory and cd'd into it and did tests from here

Testing complete x86_64

Suggested advisory
----------------------
If gnuplot is installed without the suggested gnuplot-doc then many features are missed as they are contained in the gnuplot-doc package.

This update adds a hard require of gnuplot-doc to gnuplot
----------------------

SRPM: gnuplot-4.4.3-2.mga1.src.rpm


Olivier, is this information correct please?

Yes, indeed, this information are corrected and seems perfect.

About cauldron: I merged the -doc package into the main one as the -doc is as the doc is very small and most of the files were need anyway.

Thankyou :)

We don't perform QA on cauldron packages, it's just Mageia 1 we need to now about.

There is a sample advisory on the policy link, it should explain it better than I can here.

Testing complete on i586.  Installed from core release with --no-suggests,
gnuplot> help
/usr/share/gnuplot/4.4/gnuplot.gih: No such file or directory
Installed the update using mgaapplet.  The help now works, as
does generating a plot using copy/paste from
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/simple.html

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
gnuplot-4.4.3-2.mga1.src.rpm
from Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory: If gnuplot is installed without the suggested
gnuplot-doc then many features are missed, as they use
files from the gnuplot-doc package.

This update adds a hard requires of the gnuplot-doc
package to the gnuplot package.
