The CGAL project (
https://www.cgal.org/) has published CGAL-5.0-beta1, that is now a
header-only library (and thus noarch), with arch-dependent dependencies (boost, gmp,
mpfr).
What is the recommended way to update the spec file ?
For the moment, I have let the CGAL package be arch-dependent, but it is empty (but a few
%doc files):
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/CGAL/tree/5a54407a0dd1d6307f391ce470be...
And thus rpmlint says:
CGAL.x86_64: E: no-binary
I have a scratch-build of that version:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=37984856
Another possibility would be to switch to a noarch package, but in the future I would like
to package the CGAL examples and demos as sub-packages.
What is more, what should I do with the fact that suddenly there will be no libCGAL.so.13
any longer. All packages depending on it should be rebuilt. That looks like a SONAME bump.
Is that sufficient to announce it on the devel@ mailing list?
