Description Florian La Roche 2007-11-18 11:26:53 UTC

Description of problem:

tcl-8.4 has moved from /usr/lib/tcl8.4 to /usr/share/tcl8.4. Please adjust
the packaging of the other dependent rpms to also use /usr/share/tcl8.4
instead of the symlink:

symlink /usr/lib/tcl8.4 from tcl-8.4.15-5.fc8.i386.rpm is used
as directory name in tkdnd-1.0a2-9.fc8.i386.rpm, amsn-0.96-7.fc7.i386.rpm,
tbcload-1.4-5.20061030cvs.fc8.i386.rpm

regards,

Florian La Roche

Comment 1 Sander Hoentjen 2007-11-18 21:08:04 UTC

%{libdir}/tcl%{tcl_version} is used to package arch-specific tcl-packages, what
is wrong with that?
It surely can't go in datadir?

Comment 2 Sander Hoentjen 2007-11-18 21:12:26 UTC

what i mean is: the symlink should be an actual dir, not a symlink. This will
change with the release of tcl/tk 8.5

Comment 3 Florian La Roche 2007-11-18 22:02:01 UTC

Seems like this change is now already done for the 8.4
release. Is /usr/share not possible for this package?

regards,

Florian La Roche

Comment 4 Sander Hoentjen 2007-11-19 06:30:21 UTC

Well, /usr/share is only for arch-independent stuff. Both amsn and tkdnd are
arch-dependent, that's why they can't go there.
From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Tcl which is still a draft,
but a good guideline nonetheless: "Tcl extension packages must be installed in
%{_datadir}/tcl8.x if they are noarch packages containing only Tcl code, or
%{_libdir}/tcl8.x if they are arch-specific extensions containing shared libraries."

Comment 5 Florian La Roche 2007-11-19 07:40:07 UTC

Ok, seems like the TODO section in the above wiki has all the needed items in it
and tcl needs to be fixed first.

Thanks a lot,

Florian La Roche

Comment 6 Marcela Mašláňová 2007-11-19 13:23:30 UTC

I'd like to fix all installation path in tcl8.5. I created testing rpm, this
problem is related with bug#160441
