The package review request for qemu-sanity-check is bug 999108. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle. Changing version to '20'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20 This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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. rpmlint-1.6-2.fc21.noarch which appears to be the latest package available is still affected. $ rpmlint /home/rjones/d/fedora/qemu-sanity-check/master/x86_64/qemu-sanity-check-1.1.5-2.fc23.x86_64.rpm qemu-sanity-check.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US userspace -> user space, user-space, users pace qemu-sanity-check.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US nodeps -> nodes, node's qemu-sanity-check.x86_64: E: no-binary 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 2 warnings. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23 This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

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. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: rpmlint doesn't know that an initrd file is a binary file, so it gives the errors about "no-binary" and "only-non-binary-in-usr-lib" which are both wrong: qemu-sanity-check.x86_64: E: no-binary The package should be of the noarch architecture because it doesn't contain any binaries. qemu-sanity-check.x86_64: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib There are only non binary files in /usr/lib so they should be in /usr/share. This package contains a binary initrd file in /usr/lib{,64}/<subdir> so it's correct for it to be arch-dependent. On the outside an initrd looks like a cpio file (it's commonly gzip-compressed, but this is *not* a requirement). However not all cpio or gzip-compressed cpio files are initrds. I would suggest also unpacking the cpio file and looking for an init file, which would be called one of: /init # this would be the most common case /sbin/init /etc/init /bin/init /bin/sh (names relative to the cpio file root). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-1.5-1.fc19.noarch
