Description Adam Williamson 2010-12-09 07:37:01 UTC
Neither vala, vala-tools or vala-devel owns /usr/share/vala .

libcanberra-devel owns it, but I'm pretty sure that's just a packaging error in canberra.

peter, you're in the changelog, so you win a CC :)

Yippee. Guilty by association :-)

Vala doesn't package anything in /usr/share/vala but I think that's historical. Looking at my rawhide build VM that's been upgraded from around F-11 there's a number of packages that have their .vapi files in /usr/share/vala/vapi/

Not sure the best way to deal with that.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2010-12-09 16:58:56 UTC
The vala package can just create /usr/share/vala and the necessary subdirectories (not sure if there's any other than vapi) in %install, and own them in %files.

Comment 4 Michel Lind 2010-12-10 13:16:44 UTC
libcanberra probably owns it to work around this packaging bug, so yes, I'll make it own %{_datadir}/vala.

Vala used to own this directory but has now shifted to packaging the VAPIs it ships in a versioned directory -- thus %{_datadir}/vala-%{apiver}/vapi; but vala upstream did say that %{_datadir]/vala/vapi is the correct location for third-party files.
