Note that you would do better in building ccs against the dynamic libccs.so instead of the static lib (libccs.a) provided by the -devel package. The APIs might not change, but the underlying communication mechanism might... and by that, I meant building ccs against the dynamic libmagma.so instead of the static libmagma.a :) Sorry, it's been a long week. Closing as NOTABUG see bz# 158125. > Note that you would do better in building ccs against the dynamic libccs.so

That's just an argument in favour of including the dynamic libraries in the
-devel package (as well as in the non-devel package). Nothing says a file can't
exist in more than one RPM, right (as long as the file has same size, timestamp,
md5sum, perms, etc).
To reiterate, it is a bug, because you're forcing me to install a package which
I don't want or need, just to satisfy an RPM dependency.
Thanks.
See bz #158125 (additional comments). Closing as WONTFIX. |
I wish to build ccs. I'm told that I need to magma-devel. I try to install magma-devel, but am told: [charlieb@localhost SRPMS]$ sudo rpm -Uhv /tmp/magma-devel-1.0-0.pre21.7.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: magma = 1.0-0.pre21.7 is needed by magma-devel-1.0-0.pre21.7 [charlieb@localhost SRPMS]$ Not trusting this information, I install magma-devel without magma. I am able to build ccs. Therefore magma-devel is useful without magma. Ergo, the dependency is bogus.
