rpm dependency extractor, at least last time I checked, wasnt able to handle this case.
It can't as there is no dependency recorded in the ELF header of a binary (the place where directly needed libraries are recorded for use by the dynamic linker). Such runtime dependencies must be taken care of by the packager.
Could not the first argument of every dlopen call be obtained from the ELF file? Perhaps if debuginfo is available could be done? Since this came... I sometimes read about rpm dependency extractors for java/python/mono/whatever, but I don't really package too much things in non-compiled languages and I never follow it. Righy now, exactly when RPM can extract dependencies automatically? For compiled languages/ELF binaries and... something else? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
