A look at VR and R in subpackages
by Michael Schwendt
For the problem of making rpmdev-bumpspec handle subpackages that
explicitly specify a Release tag, I've examined the repo metadata for all
packages in F20 plus updates-testing plus RPM Fusion free.
* Only four packages define subpackages with a Version and Release tag
that differs from the base package.
* Just almost two dozen packages define subpackages with a Version tag
that differs from the base package.
Some of these may not be trivial to bump for a human packager either,
because of the problem that one must not reset a subpackage %release when
the base package %release is reset during a %version upgrade. Some of the
packages in this list use lots of macros to build something that enters
the Release tag definition for subpackages. Where this is not anything
recognized by rpmdev-bumpspec, such as the %baserelease macro or a value
derived from base %release, the script will continue to bump Release tags
at the very right (= least-significant) location because it doesn't know
better. ;-)
The special multi-subpackage spec files I've found and tested with are:
Different VR:
['Saaghar', 'linux-firmware', 'openssh', 'texlive']
Only different R:
[]
Only different V:
['antlr3', 'beesu', 'bpg-fonts', 'brltty', 'ding-libs', 'eclipse-linuxtools', 'festival', 'ganglia', 'ghc', 'haskell-platform', 'iaxclient', 'lpg', 'lvm2', 'nhn-nanum-fonts', 'openlmi-scripts', 'perl', 'perl-PBS', 'ruby', 'svxlink', 'texlive', 'thunderbird-lightning', 'trustedqsl', 'xonotic']

Avoid an embedded font in a package
by Mario Blättermann
Hi,
while packaging the SDL game hex-a-hop [1], I stumbled upon an embedded font
which is already in Fedora. It is Liberation Serif.
What to do in this case? I would remove the embedded file and create a symlink
from the liberation-fonts package to hex-a-hop, but this would cause a
dangling symlink. Another solution would be to tell the configure script which
font file should be used, but I have't found the solution yet.

Best Regards,
Mario
