Hello RPM list.
I've recently discovered a little quirk and would like to know what is the
proper behavior and whether we can make it so if there is none.
For many times, I have used an equivalent of this:
%files
/xxx/foo/
%lang(de) /xxx/foo/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/foo.mo
%lang(es) /xxx/foo/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/foo.mo
It gives a warning:
warning: File listed twice: /xxx/foo/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/foo.mo
warning: File listed twice: /xxx/foo/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/foo.mo
But achieves the goal I need:
1) I don't have to carefully expand the directory structure of /xxx/foo/ and
%dir-dance around the .mo files.
2) The files end up being marked as %lang at the end.
However, it seems that it is not always the case. I have a spec file at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/churchyard/rpms/mu/blob/rpm-list-reporducer/f/mu.spec
That produces a list of files of this sort (hidden in %{pyproject_files}, but
the file is cat'ed in %check for easier inspection).
The file list contains:
...
%lang(de) /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mu/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/mu.mo
...
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mu/
The warnings happen:
warning: File listed twice:
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mu/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/mu.mo
...
But the files are not marked as %lang:
$ rpm -q --qf "[%-36{FILENAMES} %{FILELANGS}\n]" -p mu-1.0.3-6.fc34.noarch.rpm
...
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mu/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/mu.mo
...
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=56256059
I have not yet figured out when this happens. The order in %files apparently
makes no difference.
Is this one of the "it only works by accident" cases? And if so, can we maybe
support it? it is really convenient.
Thanks.
