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 Carl George 2018-05-23 13:45:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
This package previously existed in EPEL.  Red Hat added it to RHEL 7.5, but without the C++ interface.  While working on a new libsmbios-cpp package, I discovered that although the new libsmbios disables the C++ interface, libsmbios-devel still includes the C++ pkgconfig file and headers.

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libsmbios_c++.pc
/usr/include/smbios/

Please remove those so my new libsmbios-cpp-devel package doesn't have file conflicts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libsmbios-2.3.3-6.el7

While you're at it, you might as well update the summary as well.

Thanks, here's what I've got queued up currently.
Comment 4 Carl George 2018-05-30 21:53:59 UTC 
As is, those changes don't build.  Just removing the files from %files isn't enough, because they are still being installed in the buildroot.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libsmbios_c++.pc

You can either rm the file at then end of %install, or patch Makefile.am to remove it.

https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/blob/v2.3.3/Makefile.am#L58

-pc_DATA = pkg/libsmbios_c.pc pkg/libsmbios_c++.pc
+pc_DATA = pkg/libsmbios_c.pc

While you're patching that file, it may be worth removing these lines as well.

https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/blob/v2.3.3/Makefile.am#L37-L39

-if BUILD_LIBSMBIOS_CXX
-include src/libsmbios_c++/Makefile.am
-endif

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/usr/include/smbios and /usr/include/smbios/*

These are still being copied into the buildroot in the spec file during %install.  Changing these globs to explicit directory names should take care of it.

-cp -a $TOPDIR/src/include/*  %{buildroot}/%{_includedir}/
-cp -a out/public-include/*  %{buildroot}/%{_includedir}/
+cp -a $TOPDIR/src/include/smbios_c  %{buildroot}/%{_includedir}/
+cp -a out/public-include/smbios_c  %{buildroot}/%{_includedir}/
Comment 5 Carl George 2018-10-01 20:06:15 UTC 
Looks like this is handled in libsmbios-devel-2.3.3-8.el7.x86_64.rpm from the 7.6 beta.

    %exclude %{_includedir}/smbios/
    %exclude %{_libdir}/pkgconfig/libsmbios_c++.pc

Thanks!
