Summary: Review Request: alliance - Alliance VLSI CAD Sytem https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248649 ------- Additional Comments From cgoorah@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-08-01 12:09 EST ------- (In reply to comment #19) > * As previously talked with the prefix discution. $ALLIANCE_TOP is not arch > independant from how upstream use it. chitlesh(~)[0]$ll /usr/share/alliance/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 29 17:55 cells lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jul 29 17:55 etc -> ../../../etc/alliance lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jul 29 17:55 include -> ../../../usr/include/alliance lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 29 17:55 lib -> ../../../usr/lib/alliance The symbolic links are here to protect hardcorded bits of the codes that aren't dynamically set up during %configure. These symbolics links are here to meet _functionality_ when all the %{_bindir}/* are used at once( on a Makefile for example.) Please take note that libraries are placed at %{_libdir}/%{name} during %configure --libdir=%{_libdir}/%{name} As from the only "real" directory, cells which contains "technology files". Text files which specify the design rules of the respective technology. The latter is _NOT_ a must in the alliance distribution. Since the user might want to use his/her technology. for example from: * http://www.vlsitechnology.org/ * commercial technologies However the included cells are present so that one who doesn't have his/her own technology can use them for the first time. I hope I clarified that this is not arch-dependent, and should not be %{_libdir} but %{_datadir} Please also note, that once alliance is in the fedora collection, i'll start packaging the standard cells from http://www.vlsitechnology.org/, hence those will be placed in %{_datadir}, since there are only text files and images. Thus _not_ arch-dependent. The way that upstream uses the $ALLIANCE_TOP variable is similar to most commercial vendors do. But in my spec, these are split up in standard linux directories and made sure that users can still use $ALLIANCE_TOP. This variable IS NOT only for packagers or developers but users as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
