Description Red Hat Bugzilla 2001-03-20 21:28:06 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; OSF1 V5.1 alpha)


while compiling lib/install.c, the Sun Forte 6.1 C compiler flags the
following
problem:

"../rpmio/rpmio_internal.h", line 8: identifier redeclared: fdFileno
    current : static function(pointer to void) returning int
    previous: function(pointer to void) returning int : "../rpmio/rpmio.h",
line
 330


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ./configure; make

on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 with the full development environment.


Since it's declared static in the _internal header but then declared
without the
static qualifier in the public `rpmio.h' header, I just applied the
following patch:

Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla 2001-03-20 22:48:24 UTC 
this is not a wolverine / Red Hat Linux bug.
Comment 3 Red Hat Bugzilla 2001-03-21 15:00:34 UTC 
The patch "works" but goes the wrong way. I wish to get fdFoo out of the API
entirely,
using instead the fdio vectors. I've had to retrofit several routines in the
libraries in
order to control for API creep, but, as soon as I can manage a soname change,
fdFileno() et al will be accessible only through fdio vectors.

Deferred until then.

> "this is not a wolverine / Red Hat Linux bug."

Is this a message for Red Hat internal use or does this mean that the inital
report
shouldn't have been posted here? If so on the RPM home page I read:
	Bugzilla, bug tracker for Red Hat, including RPM
so you should ask the RPM maintainers to fix their home page.

Best regards,
Dimitri

Dimitri-

Jeff Johnson has asked that all rpm-related problems be reported via Bugzilla.

The fact is that RPM has gone beyond being a RedHat-only or Linux-only thing to
being
an OpenSource package management system that's used on a wide variety of UNIX
platforms.
Since there are no options for "other" in the OS/platform area, I just chose an
option that seemed
to be the "least wrong".

You're of course right that this isn't a RedHat or even Linux issue, but it is
an RPM quality issue.
