He doesn't have a bugzilla account and so asked that I forward these comments on. <guillem> re dpkg in fedora I don't have an account on their bugzilla but you might wanna comment to maybe speed up the review <guillem> install-info is not really needed at all if they are using the one from GNU texinfo <guillem> update-alternatives I thought they have their own implentation (but I might be wrong) <guillem> I see in their spec file they are working around a problem now fixed in the latest released version about selinux linking <guillem> the LDFLAGS='-lselinux' should be unnecessary <guillem> I don't know how they requires stuff gets generated but I suspect the perl requires involving dpkg-gettext.pl and controllib.pl is not needed anymore <guillem> re licensing I did an audit that might be useful to them: http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2009/11/msg00043.html <guillem> cpio should not be needed by the devel package <guillem> I've not checked the patch they are applying but I'd gladly fix anything that causes them to need to patch it <guillem> there's also been reports on the list about it building fine with recentish git on fedora <guillem> I think that's mostly it <guillem> and thanks for fwding the info :) <guillem> oh and re the linker optimization they can use --disable-linker-optimisations <guillem> and dselect needs dpkg yes <guillem> anyway dinner time for me, poke if you need more info! -- 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. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
