Spec URL: http://www.spicenitz.org/fedora/compat-vips.spec SRPM URL: http://www.spicenitz.org/fedora/compat-vips-7.10.21-1.fc7.src.rpm Description: Compatibility version of VIPS. New upstream release of VIPS has new so version.
Is a compat-vips package really necessary. Every package I see that requires either of the libraries provided by the vips package seems to have exactly the same version string: vips-devel-0:7.12.0-1.fc8.i386 vips-tools-0:7.12.0-1.fc8.i386 vips-python-0:7.12.0-1.fc8.i386 nip2-0:7.12.0-1.fc8.i386 vips-0:7.12.0-1.fc8.i386 BTW, I note the following from rpmlint: W: compat-vips unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/libvips.so.10.8.5 /usr/lib64/libWand.so.10 W: compat-vips unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/libvips.so.10.8.5 /lib64/libz.so.1 W: compat-vips unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/libvips.so.10.8.5 /lib64/librt.so.1 W: compat-vips unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/libvips.so.10.8.5 /lib64/libdl.so.2 These are generally just inefficiencies, but libWand is 800K, which is a bit large for an unused library dependency.
Ah, ok. Good to know this isn't necessary. I was thinking this package was only needed for F7, but with F8 coming out so soon, I'll drop it. Also, I'll look into the dependences. I guess it's just libtool being overzealous?
