Description Igor Raits 2019-07-21 11:11:06 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.

---
libmatroska-devel-1.5.0-1.fc31.i686:
  - /usr/lib/cmake
libmatroska-devel-1.5.0-1.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 12:01:54 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.

Comment 2 Igor Raits 2019-07-22 12:52:14 UTC
Well, depends if you consider "not downloading 60M of filelists.xml" to be a little value.

Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2019-07-22 13:38:10 UTC
I don't think that's much an issue if libebml/libmatroska owns _libdir/cmake

Also worth to mention that such cmake-filesystem would need to be turned into multilibs to own both lib{,64}/cmake (or having x86_64 owns both /usr/lib{,64}/cmake)

Comment 4 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2023-02-27 12:48:34 UTC
This is becoming relevant again. See

for the motivation.
