Summary: Merge Review: boost https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225622 ------- Additional Comments From bkoz@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-03-28 06:32 EST ------- 1) why not use boost-jam for install? It provides no advantage when we are doing staged builds, and also doesn't work with prefix. In addition, it doesn't get the permissions correct. I'm not quite sure why the permissions are incorrect in rpmlint considering they are explicitly set by install to be the correct values. Any hacking by others in this area would be appreciated. 2) soname What upstream boost does with soname is dubious IMHO. In particular, boost libs should not change SONAMES based on gcc versions if gcc versions are compat. Ie, gcc-3.4, gcc-4.0, gcc-4.1 are compat. If using upstream boost versioning, they are not. In general, there is no ABI checking in upstream boost. Fedora does not have this luxury. Mostly, they leave this as a decision for vendors, one of whom is Fedora. The plan WRT Fedora is to provide some guidance for people using older boosts that are not ABI-compat with current boost. Thus the soname bump. -- 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
