Hi,
I'm using git-1.7.4.2-5.1 from Tumbleweed. Can somebody please explain me this symlink jungle?

Is this mess OpenSUSE specific and/or intended?
Heh, I think it's intended, but I don't quite know. Care to file a bug and assign it to the git package owner and take it from there?
It's a historical ugly reason. For AppArmor profile, it has to be linked to an existing binary in the earlier packaging. (The use of symlink instead of hardlink is intentional, BTW.)
The fix would be to remove the following snippet
================================================================ %if %{dist_has_fdupes} # create predictable symlinks to make apparmor profile work for i in git git-upload-archive; do rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/$i ln -s %{gitexecdir}/git-add $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/$i done ================================================================
or use below
ln -s %{gitexecdir}/git $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/$i
Can't we just fix the apparmor profile instead of being forced to carry this around for forever? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
