github URLs?
by Dave Johansen 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

What's the right way to handle github URLs? Currently, I'm working on the spec file for breathe and the URL is https://github.com/michaeljones/breathe/archive/v4.0.0.tar.gz and the actual file that's downloaded is breathe-4.0.0.tar.gz. How do I make that play nice in the spec file and with rpmlint? Thanks, Dave

Find with -exec?
by Dave Johansen 27 May '15

27 May '15

How can I use a find with -exec in a .spec file? It appears that the {} is being put in quotes and not doing what I'd expect. Is there a way for me to prevent the quoting and make this work? Thanks, Dave

configure macro and FCFLAGS
by lejeczek 26 May '15

26 May '15

hi everybody I'd like to ask if you might know what if any impact this var has on gfortran compiler during rebuild? Docs on gfortran say it does not use env vars thus what is the point. Also when I use and export my FCFLAGS I do not see them in rpmbuild output used by gfortran. thanks.

Broken Symlinks
by John Dodson 25 May '15

25 May '15

Hi list, I'm new to this list but have had a hard time convincing redhat people that broken symlinks are bad! (I'm not going to bother trying to convice you ;-) What I would like to do is get a "package" to take responsibility for the many broken symlinks out there. So that at least a broken symlink can be assigned to a specific package the owner of which thinks (sic) that the symlink is "required" from his/her perspective. (I won't say that the code should be more intelligent & create a symlink if it is really necessary & remove it when it's broken as that would expect too much) Please see, https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/01326479 for more detail. Generally many packages create symlinks, but don't "own them", I'd like to change that. eg. kernel packagages if the source is not installed. Try, find / -type l -exec file "{}" \; |grep broken Cheers johnd John Dodson | Bosch Research Engineering & Computing Facility Manager, | Network Manager Medical Sciences, Electrical/Electronics/Control | Telecommunications Engineer Physiology/School of Medical Sciences The University of Sydney Rm N252,Anderson Stuart Building (F13) Eastern Avenue, The University of Sydney|NSW|2006|Australia.

Package depends on source of gcc
by Pavel Zhukov 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi lists, Gprbuild [1] package depends on sources of current gcc (gnat) compiller [2]. The sources (content of gcc/ada of gcc's tree) should be placed under gnat_src before building. Is it possible to achieve this in any way rather than ship content of gcc/ada directory as %{SOURCE2}? P.S. Gprbuild ships headers of gnat but they're broken because of gcc-5 in fedora (major version changed). [1] http://www.adacore.com/gnatpro/toolsuite/gprbuild/ [2] README: Gprbuild uses some sources of the GNAT package. They are expected by default to be located in the gnat/ subdirectory of Gprbuild. Only some of the GNAT sources are required, but note that having all of the GNAT sources present in the gnat/ subdirectory will result in build failure. In order to use GNAT sources from another location, create a link named gnat_src and call the Makefile target copy_gnat_src: ln -s <path_to_gnat_sources> gnat_src make copy_gnat_src That will place links into the gnat/ subdirectory for each of the required GNAT source files. -- Pavel
