mysql_config needs to be in the base package because it is used for non-devel purposes as well as devel ones. What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? Get a machine with a multilib environment (x86-64, PPC64) and try to compile something that requires the mysql libraries for 32-bit. The binary will point to the 64-bit version of mysql_config, despite both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions being installed. The program in question was cyrus-sasl using the .spec we ship. Well, we can't just remove mysql_config without breaking perl, php, ruby, and everything else that expects to use "mysql_config --socket" to find out where the socket is. Arguably they shouldn't be doing that, but it's a mighty widespread meme. OK, closing bz entry as WONTFIX. I don't say that this isn't an interesting question, but the correct packaging behavior is not immediately apparent. |
