I do agree that hard coding system library paths that the linker will search automatically is a very bad idea. After a bit of discussion on opensuse-packaging (which I invite you to join) I've decided to go the following route: I'll write a check for rpmlint that checks for -L%{_libdir} in generated .pc and -config files and gives a warning for the packager. Approximately a week after that updated rpmlint package has been checked in, our buildservice/autobuild folks will run a grep over the build logs to see how many packages would be effected. With those numbers in hand the release manager will be able to decide how to proceed then.
did this already happen ? if yes, any numbers ? any change that this will influence 11.2 ? I just installed 11.2 milestone 7 (32bit) with all development pattern and run some scripts to detect (and optionally fix) those scripts and *.pc files. for that installation with 246 *-devel RPMs my script found 29 *-config scripts and 722 *.pc files which need to be fixed... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
