Description Igor Raits 2019-07-21 11:11:04 UTC
Hello,

Fedora Packaging Guidelines allow dependencies only on files/directories from /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /etc directories[0].
Your package depends on files/directories outside of those. See below for more information about package/dependencies.

---
libebml-devel-1.3.7-1.fc31.i686:
  - /usr/lib/cmake
libebml-devel-1.3.7-1.fc31.x86_64:
  - /usr/lib64/cmake
---

Please correct those or provide reason why is it correct.
It is very important to not download huge filelists.xml just because few packages in distribution depend on non-standard paths.

Thanks for cooperation!

Comment 1 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2019-07-22 12:01:21 UTC
This is on purpose to have the same dependency on both Fedora and EPEL. There's no cmake3-filesystem package/virtual dependency that I could depend on for %{_libdir}/cmake. There's cmake-filesystem on Fedora, but nothing on EPEL side. Feel free to ask Fedora cmake/EPEL cmake3 maintainer to provide this and let me know when done. I think there's little value in having this tiny difference between Fedora and EPEL in a -devel subpackage otherwise.

This is becoming relevant again. See

for the motivation.
