It avoids to do so by with the headers below bsd/ It fails to do with nlist.h That said, I impression is: This package is conceptionally immature and therefore must not install its headers directly into /usr/include > Reading your comments I almost get the impression that you think libbsd is > intended to be a general-purpose library that should eventually be relied on by > newly written software and many Fedora packages, This aspect doesn't matter. At the very point a devel package is installed it "is around", i.e. is can be used for arbitrary purposes, no matter what you or upstreams has intended. > No, libbsd doesn't solve all BSD portability problems, nor does > it claim to. This is not my point. My point is: I feel this package is not ready for public consumption. Me asking you to install its headers into a subdirectory is an attempt to isolate this package (e.g. from accidental use) and to prevent it to cause potential damage. -- 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
