https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1823134 --- Comment #7 from Artur Iwicki <fedora@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I wanted to try and build the package locally, but I get a 404 when I try to fetch the SRPM. >Also, interestingly enough, if I don't have %global debug_package %{nil} at the top of the file, I get this error at the end of packaging: >error: Empty %files file /home/rolson/rpmbuild/BUILD/gnucobol-2.2/debugsourcefiles.list That's because by default, rpmbuild tries to also create a debuginfo package. Adding "%global debug_package %{nil}" disables debuginfo generation. In Fedora, we typically want debuginfo to be generated, so once again, I urge you to enable debuginfo generation and try to get the package to build with debuginfo. >%package devel >Provides: %{name}-devel = %{version}-%{release} The Provides is unnecessary. >%configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=%{_libdir} Now that you use %configure, you can drop --prefix and --libdir - %configure sets them up appropriately. Also, looking at files - everything related to libcob has been moved to the -devel subpackage. An important question now is: can cobc run without the -devel subpackage installed? Can cobc-generated programs run? If not, you'll need to add a Requires: on the -devel subpackage to the main package. Continuing the library topic, I was personally thinking of something more along the lines of: - GnuCobol - cobc and related stuff - GnuCobol-libs - libcob, the versioned .so files - GnuCobol-libs-devel - unversioned libcob and includes I haven't really done much work when it comes to packaging libraries, so you may want to take all of this with a grain of salt. It'll probably be a good idea to ask someone more experienced in Fedora packaging to come and take a look. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
