llvm-ocaml-devel installs broken symlinks
Last modified: 2014-01-07 04:44:22 EST
Description of problem: One example from many: $ file /usr/lib64/ocaml/libLLVMObjCARCOpts.a /usr/lib64/ocaml/libLLVMObjCARCOpts.a: broken symbolic link to `/usr/lib64/llvm/libLLVMObjCARCOpts.a' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): llvm-ocaml-devel-3.3-0.6.rc3.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install llvm-ocaml-devel 2. look into /usr/lib64/ocaml/ 3. observe there are broken symlinks Actual results: Broken symlinks to libraries. Expected results: Not broken symlinks and correct files in place, be able to compile things which depends on those libraries. Additional info:
That's due to some of the questionable packaging going on. The actual libs are found in the -static subpackage (following the Static Library Packaging Guidelines): %files static %defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_libdir}/%{name}/*.a However, the symlinks and a few additional static libs are in the -ocaml-devel subpackage: %files ocaml-devel %defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_libdir}/ocaml/*.a %{_libdir}/ocaml/*.cmx* %{_libdir}/ocaml/*.mli
I do not know how devel packages for Ocaml work, but I guess llvm-ocaml-devel package should require llvm-static instead of llvm-devel. I will fix that in the next build.
