Summary: Review Request: yafc: yet another ftp client https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192606 ------- Additional Comments From rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-07-26 01:46 EST ------- (In reply to comment #5) > rpmlint result: > E: yafc zero-length /usr/share/doc/yafc-1.1.1/doc/yafc.info > > The package does indeed contain an empty compressed file yafc.info.gz. The cause is building triggers regeneration of the *.info while "makeinfo" is missing. /builddir/build/BUILD/yafc-1.1.1/support/missing: line 46: makeinfo: command not found WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site. => BR: /usr/sbin/makeinfo could be applied to work around this issue. But .. the actual cause is deeper: The tarball is not packaged properly. It contains a raw preconfigured CVS snapshot with all temporary files and broken timestamps inside. Due to this I strongly recommend to add a make distclean to %prep to assure the subsequent %configure doesn't "reconfigure" the source tree, but to configure it anew. Further issues: * You put *.texi's in %doc. These *.texi's are the sources of yafc.info. It doesn't make much sense to put them into %docdir * Related to the previous issue, the "prepare for %doc" block doesn't seem useful to me. The package ships and installs mans and infos, its Makefiles handle them correctly. There is no for any special treatment. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
