RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

The suitesparse-devel package does not include the C++ header files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Tested with suitesparse 3.4.0-7.el6 

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ repoquery --list suitesparse-devel | grep hpp

Actual results:

Nothing is found.

Expected results:

I expect to find the hpp files from the source.

$ wget --quiet 'https://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/SuiteSparse-3.4.0.tar.gz'
$ tar tf SuiteSparse-3.4.0.tar.gz | grep hpp
SuiteSparse/SPQR/MATLAB/spqr_mx.hpp
SuiteSparse/SPQR/Include/SuiteSparseQR.hpp
SuiteSparse/SPQR/Include/spqr.hpp


Additional info:

Without SuiteSparseQR.hpp you cannot compile https://code.google.com/p/ceres-solver/

Thank you for bugreport, Brian.

The bug occurs in spec file: files with suffix 'hpp' are not being copied to %{_includedir} which is a mistake.

This patch should fix it:
