Hello, Some time ago a guideline for gfortran modules directory was accepted: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/FortranModulesDir First I think this should be in the guidelines, %_fmoddir is in since F10. Second, there is an issue with directory ownership. The directories in that proposal, for .mod files, are not owned by any package: %_libdir/gfortan %_libdir/gfortan/modules One possibility could be to have libgfortran own them, that way libraries dynamically linked whould bring in libgfortran and the directories. However for libraries linked statically, this doesn't work since they don't depend explicitly on libgortran, but they depend on gcc-gfortran adding the right link information when doing the link. The guideline is not to require the compiler for -devel packages, unless I am missing something. As a side note, since gcc-gfortran is not in the minimal buildroot it has to be a BauildRequires, though. I see 2 possibilities to solve that issue: * put %_libdir/gfortan %_libdir/gfortan/modules in filesystem * do an addition to the guideline PackagingDrafts/FortranModulesDir to have library linked statically by gfortran and installing .mod files have an explicit dependency on gcc-gfortran. What's your opinion?
