Description Michael Schwendt 2012-05-04 19:19:37 UTC
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

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 15:29:30 UTC
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.)

Comment 5 Jan Staněk 2013-07-29 11:09:04 UTC
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.

Comment 6 Michael Schwendt 2013-07-29 13:48:58 UTC
> 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.

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.
