Description Michael Schwendt 2013-05-25 15:04:53 UTC
collectd-5.3.0-1.fc20.src
is missing
BuildRequires: iproute-static

[...]

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries_2

If a library you depend on only provides a static version your package can link against it provided that you BuildRequire the *-static subpackage. Packagers in such a situation should be aware that if a shared library becomes available, that you should adjust your package to use the shared library.

Hi Michael,

There is no iproute-static.
We have a BuildRequires: iproute-devel, which has the static libnetlink.a library

Are you automatically opening these bug reports, or did you find this another way?

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2013-05-26 11:06:10 UTC
There's a virtual -static package as explained in the linked packaging guidelines:

  # repoquery --whatprovides iproute-static
  iproute-devel-0:3.9.0-1.fc19.i686
  iproute-devel-0:3.9.0-1.fc19.x86_64
  iproute-devel-0:3.9.0-1.fc19.i686
  iproute-devel-0:3.9.0-1.fc19.x86_64

And yes, these tickets are opened/closed automatically by a highly experimental (albeit pretty safe) script. Current bug status:

Ah, sorry, I missed that.

Will fix... thanks.
