Hi,
I'm trying to update the hdf5 package to its latest version (1.8.8).
I've branched it here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=hdf5&project=home%3Aocefpaf%3Abranches%3Adevel%3Alibraries%3Ac_c%2B%2B
and I'm having issues with the rpmlint Warnings and Error at the end
of this e-mail.
I have a some questions regarding the rpmlint: (Please bear in mind
that I not a skilled packager nor a programmer.)
1) I notice that other distro (e.g. Fedora do not pacth for those warnings)
2) How bad are those errors below? They need to be patched or is there
a way around?
3) I do not have the skills to pacth those, in this case who should I
approach for help?
Thanks, for the attention, Filipe
RPMLINT:
I: Function call uses possibly exploitable format stringsW: hdf5
format-security h5import.c:1497, 1507
I: Program is using implicit definitions of functions getting
pointers or implemented by macros. These functions need to use their
correct prototypes to allow correct argument passing on e.g. x86_64 .
- Implicit memory/string functions need #include . -
Implicit *printf functions need #include . - Implicit
*printf functions need #include . - Implicit *read*
functions need #include . - Implicit *recv* functions
need #include .W: hdf5 implicit-pointer-decl

ps: hdf5 is in important package for scientific data storage, it is
important (at least in my view) that an important distro like opensuse
offer its latest version.
