patch to comment out static declaration
this is not a wolverine / Red Hat Linux bug. The patch "works" but goes the wrong way. I wish to get fdFoo out of the API entirely, using instead the fdio vectors. I've had to retrofit several routines in the libraries in order to control for API creep, but, as soon as I can manage a soname change, fdFileno() et al will be accessible only through fdio vectors. Deferred until then. > "this is not a wolverine / Red Hat Linux bug."
Is this a message for Red Hat internal use or does this mean that the inital
report
shouldn't have been posted here? If so on the RPM home page I read:
Bugzilla, bug tracker for Red Hat, including RPM
so you should ask the RPM maintainers to fix their home page.
Best regards,
Dimitri
Dimitri- Jeff Johnson has asked that all rpm-related problems be reported via Bugzilla. The fact is that RPM has gone beyond being a RedHat-only or Linux-only thing to being an OpenSource package management system that's used on a wide variety of UNIX platforms. Since there are no options for "other" in the OS/platform area, I just chose an option that seemed to be the "least wrong". You're of course right that this isn't a RedHat or even Linux issue, but it is an RPM quality issue. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; OSF1 V5.1 alpha) while compiling lib/install.c, the Sun Forte 6.1 C compiler flags the following problem: "../rpmio/rpmio_internal.h", line 8: identifier redeclared: fdFileno current : static function(pointer to void) returning int previous: function(pointer to void) returning int : "../rpmio/rpmio.h", line 330 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ./configure; make on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 with the full development environment. Since it's declared static in the _internal header but then declared without the static qualifier in the public `rpmio.h' header, I just applied the following patch: --- rpm-4.0.2.orig/rpmio/rpmio_internal.h Wed Jan 10 16:26:34 2001 +++ rpm-4.0.2/rpmio/rpmio_internal.h Mon Mar 19 17:50:39 2001 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ * \file rpmio/rpmio_internal.h */ -static inline int fdFileno(void * cookie); +/* static inline int fdFileno(void * cookie); */ #include <rpmio.h> #include <rpmurl.h>
