A bundled copy of Gnulib - The GNU Portability Library [1] was found in netcf. No Bundled Libraries section [2] of Packaging guidelines gives more information on bundled libraries and how they should be handled. Affected netcf version: netcf-0.1.9-2.fc17 As a kind of copylib, Gnulib has been granted an exception. However, to comply with Packaging guidelines, packages bundling Gnulib must note that the library has been granted an exception in the spec file comment with a link to the FPC ticket where the exception was granted and add a virtual provide to the spec file to note that Gnulib is bundled. Refer to [2] for more details. No comment about bundling Gnulib and no virtual provide were found in the netcf.spec file. To comply with the packaging guideliness please add an appropriate comment to the spec file as well as a virtual provide. Source tarball where bundled Gnulib was found: netcf-0.1.9.tar.gz At least the following files look like Gnulib files: ./netcf-0.1.9/gnulib/m4/00gnulib.m4 ./netcf-0.1.9/gnulib/tests/Makefile.in ./netcf-0.1.9/gnulib/tests/Makefile.am ./netcf-0.1.9/gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4 ./netcf-0.1.9/gnulib/lib/Makefile.in ./netcf-0.1.9/gnulib/lib/Makefile.am There are most likely more Gnulib files bundled in the SRPM. I didn't bother to list them all as it shouldn't be necessary. [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/ [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries
Yes, gnulib is bundled.
I've already pushed a patch for the specfile upstream. It will be included the next time there is a release + Fedora build: commit eaf4c561a4f25b90332f2f514d51d54500077642 Author: Laine Stump <laine> Date: Tue May 15 11:23:57 2012 -0400 Add bundled(gnulib) to RPM specfile According to Fedora guidelines, because we bundle gnulib we need to add a virtual Provides: bundled(gnulib). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Requirement_if_you_bundle
