[Bug 217472] New: Several rpm packages contain Makefile* junk
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217472 Summary: Several rpm packages contain Makefile* junk Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: balazs.melikant@univie.ac.at QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: balazs.melikant@univie.ac.at As previously reported for SUSE 10.0 beta(s) and just minutes ago for sylpheed-claws reparately (#217465), there are still lots of Makefile* files around the system. I'm sorry, now just giving you a file-list exclusively from my running system, of course as it was suggested earlier, ARCHIVES.gz could be easily zgrep-ed for all 'hits':

Why not build a check into the build system?
Sounds like a good idea. However, you'll need a (small) whitelist - I can imagine that packages related to software development have some Makefiles as examples in their documentation ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I've looked at the examples you gave above, and there are several reasons for they being installed a) in case of koffice: Makefile.am listed as part of the _DATA variable. ouch. would be easy to detect, but its the only package affected, so its not a very common problem b) some install Makefile.am's to allow example applications to be built. the corresponding configure is not included, so you can't actually regenerate the Makefile.in/Makefile from the Makefile.am. if they work in the place they're installed I haven't tested yet. do you consider those junk as well? or only if they cannot be used where they're installed? c) most packages install Makefile* because they copy over a whole documentation directory into the package, including the buildsystem. obviously that doesn't make sense, so I would consider that junk as well. so far I've added a check for c), and it triggers already on quite a lot of packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
