Hereby I propose the following fixes to the libdb spec file: * introduce arch-specific dependencies * eliminate superfluous/wrong subpkg dependencies * trim down the duplicate %descriptions to their relevant portion * rename -devel-doc package as it contains not just C API docs * revise -devel-doc packaging, group, and dependencies * move run-time libs from -devel subpackages to proper run-time subpackages * fix wrong %post scriptlets
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
Most of the fixes is already implemented in current release of fedora. * rename -devel-doc package as it contains not just C API docs This change doesn't seem to be helpful - as the whole package is library and meant to be used by developers, the documentation may as well stay in the -devel-doc sub-package.
> as the whole package is library and meant to be used by developers ?? libdb too? It's a run-time package! Typically, we give separate documentation packages the name %{name}-doc, hence libdb-doc not libdb-devel-doc. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation With "it contains not just C API docs" I also mean that it covers also the run-time utilities, the licensing and contains links to external references.
