Description Volker Fröhlich 2013-06-27 20:33:22 UTC

I just noticed the 2.0 packages contain:

/usr/lib/liblwgeom.a
/usr/lib/liblwgeom.la

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2013-06-27 21:46:03 UTC

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

You need a -devel sub-package, and a -static if you want to keep the static library.

Also:

postgis.x86_64: W: undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib64/liblwgeom-2.0.3.so lwgeom_init_allocators
postgis.x86_64: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib64/liblwgeom-2.0.3.so exit.5
postgis.x86_64: E: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath /usr/bin/pgsql2shp ['/usr/lib64']
postgis.x86_64: E: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath /usr/bin/raster2pgsql ['/usr/lib64']
postgis.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/include/liblwgeom.h
postgis.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/doc/postgis-2.0.3/COPYING

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2013-06-28 14:51:54 UTC

Also, I think shipping liblwgeom in a separate liblwgeom or postgis-lib sub-package would allow us to avoid a circular dependency on gdal.

Comment 3 Volker Fröhlich 2013-09-13 23:01:15 UTC

Please delete the two static files so we can close this ticket. The point Orion mentions here is a lot more critical though.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-09-16 16:45:02 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
Changing version to '20'.

Comment 5 Volker Fröhlich 2014-03-23 22:51:26 UTC

Please address this issue. At least the static library part is really easy.

Comment 6 Jozef Mlich 2014-06-26 14:53:26 UTC

Thanks for reporting. I have removed static libraries from package. The shared libraries seems to be sufficient. 

Change of the liblwgeom into separate package seems to be reasonable. In contrary, it seems to be integral part of postgis.
