Can anyone set me straight on what is going on here? (One thing that
I notice is that shared libraries in Ubuntu use 644 mode, but Fedora
17 uses 755. But I believe I've corrected for that using %defattr.
What happens if you use chmod 0755 %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/lib*so*
in %install ? I haven't checked recently but traditionally, the provides
and requires scripts only checked shared libraries that were mode 0755.
This was the right solution. Indeed, the 'find-provides' or 'rpmdeps'
stuff only works if the shared library .so files are installed with the
executable bit set. It's *not* enough to use '%defattr' in the %files
section(s).
I couldn't find this fact mentioned ANYWHERE in the documentation, FWIW,
and it's especially a concern/difficulty since this +x marking is
different from the practice on Debian systems.
Also I am getting automatically-generated dependencies on /bin/sh
One reason for this is that you have %post and %postun scripts. Those
automaticaly use /bin/sh as the interpreter unless told otherwise.
Since you only call ldconfig there, you could do them like ths instead:
%post -p /sbin/ldoncifg
That will invoke /bin/ldconfig directly without the need of the shell.
However:
That seems to be a good idea, and replaces the 'sh' dependency with
'/sbin/ldconfig' instead.
and
/usr/bin/env that I am surprised by)
This likely means that you're installing a script somewhere that has
/usr/bin/env in its shebang line that rpm is finding.
Actually what was happening here is that I have a 'freesteam-config'
script that starts with "#!/usr/bin/env python". Should I ideally change
that script to start with #!/usr/bin/python, or is the /usr/bin/env
approach considered acceptable, and I just add "Requires: python" for
the devel package instead?
Cheers
