The plugin symlinks 'lib*.so' are not needed either. The program could be patched to simply name the plugins 'lib*.so' and dlopen() them directly instead of looking at the .la files. * Please look at "rpm --query --provides bnIRC". Currently, the plugin libraries produce several automatic SONAME Provides, which bear the risk of causing conflicts with other packages during dependency resolving: libctcp.so.0 libdcc.so.0 libdebug.so.0 libhello.so.0 libio_ncurses.so.0 libirc_input.so.0 libpython.so.0 librserver.so.0 libserver_strings.so.0 This is a blocker, even if one could show that no other Fedora package currently provides libraries with the same SONAMEs. I haven't tried that, but I could imagine packages such as "libdcc", "libctcp", "librserver", for example, with similar library sonames. The package also contains automatic "Requires" for the same library SONAMEs. The least thing that could be done is to filter these self-Provides and self-Requires out. Various docs exist, in the Wiki and on Google, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/FilteringAutomaticDependencies but disabling rpmbuild's internal dependency generator is dangerous, and one must carefully examine the results. It would be good, if upstream could use a unique namespace for these plugins, e.g. like libbnirc_plugin_foo.so.0 > %post devel -p /sbin/ldconfig > %postun devel -p /sbin/ldconfig These are a no-op and can be deleted. The scriptlets in the main pkg are the ones that are correct and needed. > %{_libdir}/bnIRC/* Directory %{_libdir}/bnIRC is not included. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UnownedDirectories -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
