OCaml library packaging - no-arch for non-devel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Does anyone know whether OCaml library main packages (non-devel
packages) should be packaged as no-arch, since they only contain
bytecode files, which should be architecture independent? It seems
that convention (by looking at the list of available OCaml libraries)
is to make them architecture dependent (that is, just have a version
for each architecture even though there shouldn't be architecture
dependent contents), though rpmlint complains. It seems that Debian's
policy (http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/ocaml_packaging_policy.txt),
from which one might've been tempted to draw suggestions, is to
include the native code files in the main library package, which is
not done for Fedora. (This also doesn't seem to be addressed in the
Fedora OCaml packaging guidelines either.) Is this something that just
should be done but often isn't, or did I miss something else?
