Description of problem: The munge package from home.gna.org/munge builds munge, munge-devel and munge-libs. In order to build packages that leverage this setup, the epel munge package should include a munge-libs package as well. Additional info: We can see the nature of the discussion here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506355
Well, the fact that "the upstream's spec file creates these binary rpms" is not a valid reason for the claim that Fedora should follow such packaging way. Fedora has its own packaging guidelines and quite often they may conflict with spec files provided by software upsteam developers.
Mamoru, Yes I agree entirely of course and mentioned in bug #506355 that since it did not conflict with the Fedora's guidelines its a reasonable request. There are of course many packages with -libs and of course it has some multilib advantages as well. I'm happy to make the change. Steve
The changes are now in CVS. I'll wait a couple of days before building in case of further comment. Steve
Ah, dependencies are opposite. In this case - munge should have "Requires: %{name}-libs = %{version}-%{release}" (because the dependency is actually so). - Also -devel subpackage dependency should be changed to "Requires: %{name}-libs = %{version}-%{release}" (-devel package actually requires -libs subpackage in this case) - COPYING files or so should be moved to -libs subpackage, because it is possible that we install only -libs package and don't install munge package now (after dependency is fixed).
Thankyou, I had the right idea but did it wrong. Thanks very much for checking. I spend a good portion of my life packaging at work and I need to slow down and think for fedora more in fact. Lesson learned. Everything in Comment #4 implemented. In CVS again.
I'm just curious what the difference is between the epel munge.spec and what is distributed with the munge.spec from the main site. Perhaps we could encourage munge authors to create spec files that are more fedora friendly too?
Not a lot I expect in the end but it must follow guidelines. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines I purposefully ignored your spec in first instance to stay close to the guidelines though I did look at it afterwards. See for yourself: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/munge/devel/ And for your last point of course yed indeed though of course not everyone maintains a .spec file in the first place. Steve.
