[opensuse-packaging] Rpmlint warnings or false positives
Hi, In clean up process of librep package of X11:windowmanagers, rpmlint produces these warnings The branched package lives in <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=librep&project=home%3Atoganm%3Abranches%3AX11%3Awindowmanagers> ''' librep.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-nonversioned-dir /usr/share/rep librep.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-nonversioned-dir /usr/lib64/rep librep.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-nonversioned-dir /usr/share/doc/packages/librep Your shared library package contains non-versioned directories. Those will not allow to install multiple versions of the package in parallel. librep.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-excessive-dependency librep.so.16 Your package starts with 'lib' as part of its name, but also contains binaries that have more dependencies than those that already required by the libraries. Those binaries should probably not be part of the library package, but split into a seperate one to reduce the additional dependencies for other users of this library. ''' I guess the warning is caused by the package name being librep as the versioned package is build from the sources and has the name librep16 Since I want to submit the package into factory, are these warnings false positives, as I hope them to be ? Or if not any help is appreciated Thanks Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

This is about the same warning seen earlier in libproxy: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613907 In your case it looks like librep is not a shared library, but only 'starts' with 'lib', which makes rpmlint get confused... so you should be safe and this is a false positiv in your case.
