libqore.x86_64: E: useless-provides qore-module(abi)
rpmlint is mistaken in this case. A bug report had been filed years ago in bug 460872, but it has been closed due to a misunderstanding.
ok thanks for that info.
Provides: qore-module(abi)%{?_isa} = 0.19
At some time, adding %{?_isa} to create arch-specific dependencies has become popular and can also help the depsolver. For example, when the depsolver encounters broken deps in a multiarch repo such as x86_64, it would try to resolve the deps with i686 packages (even older ones), which sometimes leads to pulling in lots of i686 packages.
If you choose to add %{?_isa}, there is not much reason to also add the non-%isa Provides.
The audacious packages had started with non-%isa Provides, which should be dropped nowadays since nothing depends on them anymore.
ok I see that makes sense - I also had the same thought, but thought it was safer to do it just like an already-accepted package.
new URLs: Spec URL: http://qore.org/srpms/qore.spec SRPM URL: http://qore.org/srpms/qore-0.8.11.1-2.fc20.src.rpm
only the qore-module(abi) Provides were updated to remove the non-%isa versions.
Michael, thanks a lot for your time, expertise, and help with this package submission review.
