Hi,
I've read the Fedora modularity docs but am still missing the big picture somehow. Hope someone can clarify things for me.
What I'm most wondering: does modularity have any influence on the RPM packages at all. I mean, is there anything inside a RPM package which says it belongs to a module or it has a special function in a module?
From what I understand the RPMs are just completely normal packages and
only YUM/DNF knows from some metadata that an RPM belongs to a module. Is that corrent?
Well .. yes and no.
Individual rpm packages have requirements for install .. so if a package is built against python38 , it will require python38 libraries. The individual RPMs though do not have knowledge specifically about Modules though, just the metadata.
