Greetings,
I am trying to make a Fedora compliant rpm package and I have found myself in
need of guidance.
The software I am trying to package contains a test suite that compiles a few c
files at build time.
When installing with a prefix, the test suite and examples are installed in
${PREFIX}/share/doc/charliecloud/test and
${PREFIX}/share/doc/charliecloud/examples respectively. The spec file uses the
standard %{_prefix} macro, thus the test suite installs to /usr/share/,
which is reserved for architecture-independent files. The presence of the
compiled test suite and example binaries causes rpmlint to complain with 'arch-
dependent-file-in-usr-share' errors (among others).
Any guidance or advice is greatly appreciated.
Note I am an upstream developer of this software and we would prefer to keep the
contents of the test suite and examples together. Where they should be located
for compliance with Fedora and the FHS is a little unclear to me (/usr/libexec ?).
Finally, note that I am new to rpm packaging (this is my first spec file...) and this
community. Forgive me if the scope or content of this message is inappropriate
or malformed for this forum.
Spec file: https://github.com/hpc/charliecloud/blob/epel-package/packaging/epel-7/0.9.6/charliecloud.spec
