https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1913870 --- Comment #12 from Ben Beasley <code@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- > This was not discussed because Fedora/EPEL repos have no appropriate packages and I have no plan to package them (see my note №1) There’s no need to argue with me; I didn’t write the guidelines. Sometimes the upstream contact feels like a formality, with little hope of any change, but it is unambiguously required: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bundling. If you don’t plan to unbundle, this route is your only option. It’s not hard to do. > There are no such system libs, see above. Right. If upstream supported building with external dependencies, you would have to package them. Since it doesn’t, you don’t have to; but you have to follow https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bundling. > qvge *not* installs any library but statically compiled with them in-place. > Just one binary and nothing else. > So I cannot provide anything but qvge itself. The guidelines explain this, and I did too. The *virtual* Provides just allows tracking bundled libraries. It does not require you to offer a usable copy of the library, to build it separately, or anything else. That’s why you are providing “bundled(foo) = ${bundled-version}”, or just “bundled(foo)” if the bundled library is unversioned, not providing “foo” itself. ---- The guidelines around this are only a screenful. The process is simpler than it used to be and no longer requires petitioning the FPC. You’re going to have to slow down and take the time to understand your options. Having to deal with bundled dependencies is normal, and I don’t think you’re going to find a reviewer who decides you don’t have to do it the same way other packagers have to. ---- I think I’m done commenting here unless there’s a new, concrete question I can answer, or an updated submission for review. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
