If nobody raises objections, we'll move forward with it and add it to the packagers manual.
Note: This is not enforced for existing packages. It should be done for major updates and must be done for new package submissions.
AI: everybody to read and comment on opensuse-packaging mailing list.
Hi, I miss somthing in the new package conventions. We should start to avoid -rpath. Packages should be built without -rpath and if they need a special path, a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ should be created. Google: "rpath is evil" The solution to get the libraries working without rpath is the use of ldconfig. Suppose you have the library /usr/lib/foo/foo.so.0. Then simply create a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/foo with the path (/usr/lib/foo) as the content. Cheers, -- andreas -- http://www.cynapses.org/ - cybernetic synapses
