Beagle patch file
Adding a -devel package containing just a .pc file is just ridiculous. Thems are the guidelines - I've been hauled up for it on the extras packages before now. (In reply to comment #2) > Adding a -devel package containing just a .pc file is just ridiculous. Perhaps. It's in the packaging guidelines, though. The reasoning is found here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-May/msg00340.html The start of the thread is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-May/msg00296.html If you have an alternative or would like to explain why the reasoning is bogus the packaging committee would be happy to hear it (the rule stinks but the dependency chain pulling in -devel packages stinks worse.) The rule may be overbroad as well. If you have examples of packages where the reasoning doesn't apply we can modify the guidelines to account for those. If you come up with language that expresses the restrictions and the exceptions accurately, that's even better. The Packaging Committee has email discussions on: fedora-packaging[AT]redhat.com and IRC meetings on #fedora-packaging. I applied some of the changes in 0.2.9-2. I don't like the globbing. That can to easily break in later versions when new files get added. Also, i didn't break out the -devel package, because that will cause multilib conflicts. If we need to do this we need to fix the conflicts in the bin wrappers. This seems an over and done with issue, if not then please reopen. |
