Description:
The Google SparseHash project contains several C++ template hash-map
implementations with different performance characteristics, including
an implementation that optimizes for space and one that optimizes for
speed.

Comment 1 Chen Lei 2010-07-01 05:48:27 UTC
Two suggestions:
1. move all files too -devel subpackage
2. It'll better to leave this package as noarch, I think test in not very useful for development libs. You can add %check to packages which require sparsehash.

When I was creating the package, I couldn't make up my mind whether to put everything in -devel or not. If you think it's better that way, I'll move all files over to -devel.

I respectfully disagree here.

Building the package as noarch means that it's built only once for every primary architecture we have. For F-12, it's only one build for i686, x86_64, ppc, and ppc64. That would mean not running self tests on 3/4 architectures.

If we have a package which comes with self tests, we should try to run them if possible. You are saying these tests should be moved to packages which require sparsehash; I disagree. Every component should test itself if it is possible. And besides that, a large part of sparsehash package consists of self tests; if they aren't necessary why do you think upstream wrote them in the first place?

The package is also less than 0.5 MB, which wouldn't be much of a saving on mirrors either.

You can add noarch to -devel subpackage, the test will still run on all arch.

Oh, this is really clever: keep main package archful but mark the -devel subpackage (where all files end up in) as noarch. The end result is that the package build + tests run on each separate architecture, but we only get a single, noarch rpm for the mirrors.

Thanks Chen.


I've imported and built the updated package, closing the ticket.
