Description David Carlson 2006-06-28 03:44:52 UTC

This is a noarch package - it's just a symbolic link to a bash script in gdb.   

Can the manpage and the symlink be rolled into the gdb package?

$ for file in `rpm -ql pstack`; do file $file ; done
/usr/bin/pstack: symbolic link to `gstack'
/usr/share/man/man1/pstack.1.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression

I think the dummy package had to continue to exist for packaging/upgrade
reasons, but those might no longer apply or there may be a better way to resolve
them now.  I'm not entirely sure that it's necessarily desireable to roll it in.
 The status quo makes it possible to replace pstack with a different package
that can sit alongside gdb.  I'll leave the details to Jan, who maintains the
gdb package.

# The last Rawhide release was (no dist tag) pstack-1.2-7.2.2
Obsoletes: pstack < 1.2-7.2.2.1
Provides: pstack = 1.2-7.2.2.1

# pstack obsoletion

* Wed Feb 20 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil> - 6.7.1-13
- pstack obsoleted by included gstack (BZ 197020).

There was no real functionality already in pstack-1.2-7.2.2.x86_64:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root                6 Jul 13  2006 /usr/bin/pstack -> gstack
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root              887 Jul 13  2006
/usr/share/man/man1/pstack.1.gz

Going to ask the Fedora release engineering to remove the pstack package from 
Koji(+Bugzilla?).
