[opensuse-packaging] Shared library packaging
Hello, I have a shared library package named libmupen64plus2 (based on its soname libmupen64plus.so.2) and an accompanying development package with the headers and documentation named libmupen64plus-devel (following the shlibs packaging policy). The latter explicitly requires the former (it has a Requires: libmupen64plus2 = %{version}). Yet rpmlint now complains with libmupen64plus-devel.i586: W: no-dependency-on libmupen64plus/libmupen64plus-libs/liblibmupen64plus Is there anything wrong here or can I just ignore that? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

It seems OK and I think you can ignore it.

rpmlint should instead check if .so links in the -devel packages are
non-dangling if one of the requires of the -devel package is installed.
The name-check is just bogus in many cases.

yes, it should. it used to do that (was a local patch) but it seems the patch got lost or wrongly rediffed. please file a bugreport.

rpmlint does not install any packages, nor can check more than one package at the same time, so thats not possible. I think a namebased check is fine since we have quite strict rules on how the packages should be named :) Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
