Hi,
I noticed that in revised haskell guidelines [1], there is mentioned the
ghc-rpm-macros package, which provides macros.ghc file, which in turns
provides some useful macros for packaging of Haskell packages. In Ruby,
we provide similar macro files in ruby-devel and rubygems-devel
subpackages respectively. Perl has their macros directly in the rpm
package itself.
This seems to be a bit inconsistent to me. So my question is: shouldn't
we standardize some best practices with regards of RPM macros? For
example for Ruby, we placed the macros into -devel subpackages, because
we believe that it is just development dependency. Any opinions?
Perl has the macros in the main perl package rather than the
perl-devel package because arch-independent perl module builds often
don't need perl-devel - the packaging split is more fine-grained for
perl and tends to become finer with each release as more and more bits
are split out into their own subpackages since they have their own
lives upstream.
Thank you for your clarification. Actually, it is similar for Ruby.
Arch-independent packages do not require -devel package because of
build, but because of macros. And I find it more reasonable then to have
/etc/rpm/macros.ruby in my runtime system, where I have no use for this
file.
