Then what provides the /usr/share/gtk-doc/ directory ownership? See the guideline: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership Multiple packages own files in a common directory but none of them needs to require the others. An example: bash-completion owns the /etc/bash_completion.d directory and uses the files placed there to configure itself. git places files into /etc/bash_completion.d bzr places files into /etc/bash_completion.d Solution: Both the git and bzr packages should own the /etc/bash_completion.d directory as bash-completion is optional functionality and the installation of git or bzr should not force the installation of bash-completion. Rule of Thumb When determining whether this exception applies, packagers and reviewers should ask this question: Do the files in this common directory enhance or add functionality to another package, where that other package is not necessary to be present for the primary functionality of this package? So according to that documentation, all the packages own the directory. However, in the tracker bug there doesn't seem to be consensus, so maybe the guideline needs to be updated. Still present on F15. See the revised guidelines which mention specifically gtk-doc: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership Seems to be fixed already on F16. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
