Re: Packaging .c files in a non-devel package

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

 



Hi Christophe,

since the .c files appear to be fundamental for the functionality of
make-it-quick, I'd rather silence this one specific check via an
rpmlintrc file instead of renaming them or converting this into a -devel
package.

Renaming them is probably a lot more work and calling it -devel will
confuse end users. Both are imho not worth it just for the sake of
silencing a single rpmlint warning.


Cheers,

Dan
