rpmlint spits symlink-should-be-relative warnings when it sees an absolute symlink, and generally folks have fixed things up when presented with the warning. But now I've hit a review where the packager thinks an absolute symlink is appropriate and I'm not sure whether it's really an issue. The guidelines are silent on the subject; the only mention I see of it is in the mono guidelines, which say: ---- Mono installs binaries in /usr/lib/<package>/bin with symlinks back to /usr/bin. rpmlint is not happy with this and generates an error (which is the correct behaviour). ---- That statement is somewhat confusing; is generating the error correct behavior? Is the symlink supposed to be fixed up or not? And does this apply in general to non-mono packages? - J< -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
