Bug 460779

SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/nekovm-1.7.1-3.fc10.src.rpm

Better method of stopping rpm from stripping the binaries.

- build in Rawhide/x86_64 fails (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=799312) - maybe BR: sqlite-devel is missing?
- Fedora's CFLAGS are not used, could be solved with using "make CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -I vm -D_GNU_SOURCE"" for building
- what about 64-bit compatibility - I see "CFLAGS += -D_64BITS" in the Makefile?

Yes, it was rather broken on 64 bit.  This seems to resolve the
issues, and I've also built it in Koji so the dependency / 64-bit
problems should be fixed.

* Tue Sep  2 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 1.7.1-6
- BR sqlite-devel
- Remove DOS line-endings and executable bits from the source.
- Add RPM CFLAGS.
- *.ndll files are always installed in /usr/lib/neko (even on 64 bit).
- Search /usr/lib64 directory for libraries when building.
- When building, link against libmysqlclient.so (not .a).
- Avoid a compiler stack overflow when building on 64 bit.
- Stop prelink from stripping the binaries.

- use --keepdate when running dos2unix to preserve the timestamps for the files

- rpmlint complains

I think you need to split the package to
main - %{_bindir} + /usr/lib/neko
libs - %{_libdir}
devel - %{_includedir}

- I think that more appropriate Group for the main package is Development/Languages, the -libs should go into System Environment/Libraries and -devel should be in Development/Libraries

ping?

pong?  Sorry, I need to look at this.  Set to NEEDINFO of me.

> BAD no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths.

This is fixed now so that the shared library has
an SONAME, and we run ldconfig in the %post/%postun
scriptlets.

> - use --keepdate when running dos2unix to preserve the timestamps for the files

Done.

> - shared library is added, but ldconfig scriptlets are missing

Done.

> - rpmlint complains

rpmlint now says:

nekovm.src:114: E: hardcoded-library-path in %{_prefix}/lib
nekovm.src:121: E: hardcoded-library-path in %{_prefix}/lib
nekovm.src:122: E: hardcoded-library-path in %{_prefix}/lib/*
nekovm.src:123: E: hardcoded-library-path in %{_prefix}/lib
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 4 errors, 0 warnings.

But in this case it's just complaining about my
install script which is moving the files FROM
%{_prefix}/lib to %{_libdir}.  I think this is
rpmlint getting it wrong.

Fixed so now it uses %{_libdir} always.

>  - what is the purpose of the *.ndll? runtime libs for nekovm based apps?

These are some type of runtime shared library
containing neko VM code.

> nekovm.x86_64: W: no-soname /usr/lib64/libneko.so
>  - result of not-so-right linking command

This is now fixed.

I don't think this split will work.  The reason is
that the main package will always require the -libs
package, because it always needs (at least) std.ndll.

This is the updated package:

Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/nekovm.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/nekovm-1.8.0-2.fc10.src.rpm

* Tue Dec 16 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 1.8.0-2
- New upstream release 1.8.0.
- Use dos2unix --keepdate.
- Use scriptlets to run ldconfig.
- Use _libdir instead of _prefix/lib, and modify so it searches
  /usr/lib64 as well as /usr/lib.
- Set the soname correctly and include libneko.so.1.

So all issues should be fixed, but there will be multilib/multiarch problems due the existence of the devel subpackage. I tend to agree with you that there is no simple solution, so you should ask rel-eng to add nekovm to the list of multilib incompatible packages. And/or try to discuss the issue on the fedora-devel mailing list.

But anyway, this package is APPROVED.

Thanks for approving this.

Are you sure there are still multilib issues remaining?
The new package (1.8.0-2) should only install packages
in %{_libdir}.  Can this still cause a conflict?

The binaries from %{_bindir} will differ and thus will block parallel installation of the nekovm packages.

I still think it can be split to be multilib compliant
main - %{_bindir} + %{_libdir}/neko/
-libs - %{_libdir}/libneko.so.*
-devel - %{_includedir} + %{_libdir}/libneko.so

both main and -devel will Require -libs

Created attachment 327224 [details]
update set-soname patch

- make libneko.so.1 real file and libneko.so symlink
- use "cp -d" when copying the libs otherwise (plain "cp") the symlink was dereferenced to the real file

Created attachment 327225 [details]
create -libs subpackage to be multilib compliant

cvs done.
