Description of problem: global has an extensions mechanism so that languages that are not supported by global itself can still be used. This mechanism works via a .so that is loaded at runtime. global comes with a .so that calls exuberant-ctags (packaged in Fedora as ctags-etags). Unfortunately, this .so is not installed by the global RPM. It would be really nice if the .so (called exuberant-ctags.so) would be installed. The current global.spec file does cause the .so to be built, but it is not included in the final RPM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): global-5.9.3-3.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
