Description Mukundan Ragavan 2014-03-03 17:36:53 UTC

Spec URL: http://nonamedotc.fedorapeople.org/pkgreview/mpfit/mpfit.spec
SRPM URL: http://nonamedotc.fedorapeople.org/pkgreview/mpfit/mpfit-1.2-1.fc20.src.rpm

Description:
MPFIT uses the Levenberg-Marquardt technique to solve the least-squares \
problem. In its typical use, MPFIT will be used to fit a user-supplied \
function (the "model") to user-supplied data points (the "data") by adjusting \
a set of parameters. MPFIT is based upon MINPACK-1 (LMDIF.F) by More' and \
collaborators.

$ rpmlint mpfit.spec ~/Downloads/temp/pkgs/mpfit/results/mpfit-*rpm
mpfit.spec: W: no-%build-section
mpfit.src: W: no-%build-section

mpfit.x86_64: E: no-binary
mpfit-devel.x86_64: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 2 errors, 3 warnings.

In this package, mpfit contains only the license file whereas -devel package contains the C and header file. 

I wanted mpfit to be a dummy package and this is the only way I could think of and hence the devel-dependency error from rpmlint.

Forgot to mention this - I submitted this as a new package so that I can use this to update fityk which uses this.
