[Bug 509945] New: Enforce packaging of static libraries by rpmlint check
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509945 Summary: Enforce packaging of static libraries by rpmlint check Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: dmueller@novell.com ReportedBy: prusnak@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: ro@novell.com, mrueckert@novell.com, crrodriguez@novell.com Found By: Development We are trying to adopt the static libraries packaging scheme described on http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries By adding rpmlint check we will enforce the correct packaging. rpmlint should check whether the package contains *.{a,la} files and perform these steps: a) package contains *.la files, does not contain *.a files -> throw error suggesting the packager to remove *.la files in %install phase b) package contains only *.la and *.a files -> check if the name ends with "-devel-static", throw error otherwise, suggesting the rename c) package contains *.la, *.a files AND *.so files (and probably some includes) -> check if the name ends with "-devel" AND package also provides "-devel-static" symbol, throw error otherwise, suggesting the addition of symbol -> also point out that packager has to be sure that static libraries are absolutely needed in the system. If not the package should be built with --disable-static and *.la files removed in %install phase -- 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.

Overall, Im against the idea of having a lot of -devel-static packages, it makes no sense at all. -- 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.
