Summary: Review Request: SimGear - Simulation library components https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208678 ------- Additional Comments From j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx 2007-03-28 10:20 EST ------- Running rpmlint on the installed SimGear package results in lots of undefined non weak symbols warnings. It looks like the .so's need to be linked against other simgear libs. Also I think its not wise to use .1.0.0 as soname versioning. Since upstream only supports static libs, and this is a c++ library, ABI breakage with a new upstream release is _extremely_ likely. Thus I would like to advice to use "-release %{version}" flag to libtool when linking the .so files instead of "-version xxx" Using -release will result in sonames like this: libSimGear-%{version}.so Thus changing the soname with every upstream release, which (unfortunately) most likely is a good thing todo in this case. If you're ok with me becoming a co-maintainer and you can add me to the ACL, then I can fix both the non-weak-symbols and the soname issue and do an import then. I think its important to get the soname right from the start. -- 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
