Comment 1 Neil Horman 2006-08-25 15:38:28 UTC
done.  The .so files need to stay in the base package, as numactl links to it
dynamically, so we either need to keep it there, or make numactl dependent on
its own -devel package, which seems to make the whole operation moot.

Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2006-08-25 15:47:51 UTC
numactl itself seems to be linked with the dynamic linker:
$ ldd /usr/bin/numactl 
...
        libnuma.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnuma.so.1 (0x00a0d000)
...

And similarly with the other programs provided in numactl.
Is there really an application dlopening /usr/lib/libnuma.so?


Comment 3 Neil Horman 2006-08-25 17:36:16 UTC
you miss the point.  numactl is linked dynamically with libnuma.so.1, so if we
don't include it in the main package, it won't run, or we have to make numactl
depend on numactl-devel, which largely defeats the purpose of separation.  The
DSO is in the right place.

Comment 4 Patrice Dumas 2006-08-25 17:56:32 UTC
Ok, I understand the misunderstanding, now. What I am saying 
is that
/usr/lib/libnuma.so
should go to the -devel package, and not /usr/lib/libnuma.so.1
which is perfectly right in the main package...

This may be better explained here, as a MUST item:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines
- MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1),
then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package.

Comment 5 Neil Horman 2006-08-25 18:43:54 UTC
yeah, ok.  fixed in -35
