Is this allowed? Files and libs duplicated in subpackages
by Michael Schwendt 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1003196 Based on this suspicious output mate-dictionary from mate-utils provides libmatedict.so.6()(64bit) mate-utils from mate-utils provides libmatedict.so.6()(64bit) required by: mate-dictionary-devel-1.6.0-7.fc20.x86_64 required by: mate-utils-devel-1.6.0-7.fc20.x86_64 I've only verified in koji that lots of files are included in both sub-packages. Even the descriptions overlap. And there are even more subpackages, which only contain copies of files included in the base mate-utils package already. Why is that done? Why aren't RPM dependencies used to have the base-package depend on the multiple subpackages? So far, it has always been a packaging mistake to duplicate files (and their Provides as a consequence) in multiple subpackages.

How to handle tests in %check
by Miroslav Suchý 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi, I would like to ask on your opinion on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912960#c25 Mamoru have in spec in %check section: ruby -Ilib:test ./test/run-test.rb || echo "Please investigate this" I'm saying that it should not be waived this way as it waive all failure. I'm saying that if there is no failure, it should be just: ruby -Ilib:test ./test/run-test.rb and if there happened some problem which need upstream attention and could not be fixed immediatelly, it should be replaced with something like: FILE=$(mktemp) ruby -Ilib:test ./test/run-test.rb | tee $FILE || : # test foo is failing, reported as http://foo/issue/1 cat $FILE | grep "4 tests, 4 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 0 pendings, 0 omissions, 0 notifications Mamoru disagree. For me it is blocker. I would like to ask for your opinions. Which way is correct and should it be blocker for review? Thanks in advance. Mirek
