Description Amit Saha 2013-09-10 09:34:39 UTC
Description of problem:

sage.spec has this in it's spec file:

########################################################################
%pretrans
# Temporary due to moving directory to symlink
if [ ! -L %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel -a -d %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel ]; then
    mkdir %{SAGE_SRC}
    mv %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel/* %{SAGE_SRC}
    rmdir %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel
    ln -s src %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel
fi

As per discussions here [1], and [2] I believe, it shouldn't be doing this. This causes it to fail dependency check when included in the Fedora Scientific Spin [3]:
DEBUG util.py:264:  Error creating Live CD : Dependency check failed : (('sagemath', '5.10', '2.fc20'), ('/bin/sh', ''), 0, 0, None)

and backported to f19/f18 branches too

Thanks!

Actually, that can be removed, as now it should be a noop.
It was added to allow clean upgrades for users that were
installing from the private repo I had at pcpa.fedorapeople.org,
as there were some directory layout changes when making sagemath
an "official" fedora package, and I am afraid having it in %pre
is unlikely to work due to the way rpm works.
Renaming symlink to/from directory is a known long standing
rpm problem.

Comment 6 Kamil Páral 2013-09-12 08:55:00 UTC
Discussed at 2013-09-11 blocker review meeting [1]. Breaks compose for a non-release-blocking spin (scientific) and a tested fix would be considered past freeze.

Comment 7 Amit Saha 2013-09-12 17:15:45 UTC
I tested sagemath-5.10-3.fc20 by using it to build the Scientific spin and added my Karma accordingly.

Is there an easier way to test the fix so that I can encourage others to leave karma on it?
