Description Mattias Ellert 2013-10-22 09:12:10 UTC

Description of problem:

This issue was mentioned in bug 1017596 comment 8, but is totally unreleated to that bug, and I therefore create a separate bugzilla entry for it.

The hadoop-devel package installs some header files (Pipes.hh, SerialUtils.hh, StringUtils.hh, TemplateFactory.hh), but the corresponding libraries is missing in the packaging. These headers declare functions and classes in the libhadooppipes and libhadooputils libraries. Without installing the libraries, the headers are not usable. So were these libraries supposed to be installed, or the headers not to be installed?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

hadoop-devel-2.0.5-12

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install hadoop-devel

Actual results:

Pipes.hh, SerialUtils.hh, StringUtils.hh, TemplateFactory.hh installed.
libhadooppipes and libhadooputils not installed.

Expected results:

Either both headers and libraries should be installed, or neither headers nor libraries should be installed.

Additional info:

The upstream build instructions seem to only build these libraries as static libraries. Is it possible to build these as shared object libraries instead, which would be to most Fedora Guidelines compiant way? Or is it necessary for these libraries to be static?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries says "In general, packagers are strongly encouraged not to ship static libs unless a compelling reason exists."

If the only reason is "it is what upstream does", that is not compelling enough, but there might be other reasons in this case.

The additional header files will be removed in the next build.
