Description Michael Schwendt 2014-12-25 07:11:21 UTC

The ipmiutil-devel subpackage contains a shared library, which is not a build-time library/symlink, but a _runtime_ library. That library must be included in the base ipmiutil package:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Shared_Libraries

[...]

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=5798496

Provides 	
ipmiutil-devel = 2.9.5-1.fc22
ipmiutil-devel(x86-64) = 2.9.5-1.fc22
libipmiutil.so()(64bit)

/usr/lib64/libipmiutil.so	195928

Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:39:23 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 2 Andy Cress 2015-06-29 19:52:55 UTC

The ipmiutil shared library (/usr/lib64/libipmiutil.so) is provided only for application development.  It is not currently used by the ipmiutil base package.  

The idea was that an application developer could use the libipmiutil.so library to build their application, and then package the custom application and library in their own package.  
Some of the existing users who build applications with ipmiutil do not always install the ipmiutil base package, only their own application package.  

Nevertheless, providing this as part of the base package should not impede those users from doing what they do now, so this change should be implemented going forward.

Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2015-06-29 21:00:43 UTC

Well, in cases where you want libraries and tools to be in separate packages, it is common practice to split off a runtime library into a -libs subpackage and treat it like a base package:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package


> The ipmiutil shared library (/usr/lib64/libipmiutil.so) is provided only
> for application development. 

Still it's a runtime lib and not a buildtime-only lib.


> The idea was that an application developer could use the libipmiutil.so
> library to build their application, and then package the custom
> application and library in their own package.  

Again, *anything* that would link with the shared lib would create an automatic dependency on it and as a result pull in the -devel package, which is not a runtime package.

Comment 4 Andy Cress 2015-06-29 21:21:59 UTC

Right.  I see the problem.  I need to change it.

Comment 5 Andy Cress 2015-07-06 19:32:22 UTC

The upstream ipmiutil HEAD now contains this change.  This will be released with ipmiutil version 2.9.7.

Comment 6 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:35:45 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

ldconfig calls belong into the _base_ package %post and %postun scriptlets only, because ldconfig is related to the runtime linker.
