Question: will bundling of xml and pckl be allowed in this case?

by Marcin Dulak

Hi, i'm asking for a clarification/suggestions here before filling in an exception request at https://fedorahosted.org/fpc. I'm packaging a python software called gpaw: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1087812 During the tests in %check gpaw uses some static xml and python pckl data (these are definitions related to chemical symbols). The data (gpaw-setups) belongs to gpaw (see https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/gpaw/setups/setups.html), and gpaw won't run without it, however gpaw and gpaw-setups are versioned separately, and therefore they need to be packaged separately (two separate spec files). gpaw-setups are being packaged here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1090070 I'm asked by the reviewer to remove gpaw-setups bundling from gpaw. Does the concept of bundling apply to this case? The problem is that each gpaw release requires a specific release of gpaw-setups in order for the gpaw tests to pass. It may happen that new gpaw-setups are released without a new gpaw release. If the gpaw-setups corresponding to the gpaw release are not bundled in gpaw one won't be able to run %check during a rebuild of gpaw. gpaw-setups are bundled in gpaw.spec only for the purpose of %check. Best regards, Marcin

environment module alternatives

by Orion Poplawski

Packaging (and mpi folks as they are the main users of modules) - In addition to the current environment-modules package in Fedora, there is at least one other implementation of the "environment modules" system - Lmod. This is Lua based rather than C/TCL based but can handle the TCL based module file format as well as a lua based format with a .lua extension. There is also the pure TCL version of environment-modules which some seem to prefer. I'd like to package Lmod for Fedora as well. My current plan is to use alternatives for the /etc/profile.d/modules.* links in order to allow both to coexist. I think we also want to move the current /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles system module file location to /usr/share/modulefiles (which would be owned by both environment-modules and Lmod). That way either package can make use of the modulefiles installed by other packages. environment-modules currently ships some sample modules which I'm not yet sure should stay in /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles (and only be used by it) or if they should get moved to /usr/share/modulefiles for Lmod's use as well (some are generic, some specific to environment-modules) We also would need some kind of virtual provide I believe for module using packages to require instead of the current "environment-modules". Perhaps environment-modules(system) or environment(modules)? Suggestions welcome. Any other comments? - Orion -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com
