private-shared-object-provides
by Thomas Spura 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi list, with a recent rpmlint, there will be a new warning 'private-shared-object-provides'. This will always trigger a *.so file inside of %{python_sitearch} as a wrong dependency: """ A shared object soname provides is provided by a file in a path from which other packages should not directly load shared objects from. Such shared objects should thus not be depended on and they should not result in provides in the containing package. Get rid of the provides if appropriate, for example by filtering it out during build. Note that in some cases this may require disabling rpmbuild's internal dependency generator. """ Is there a easy way to fix the find-requires script, so this won't be emitted in next builds? The current workaround is to manually grep away the unwanted provides, but... it's a workaround. While viewing the current find-requires script I found the file '/usr/lib/rpm/python.prov', which apparently doesn't exist yet. Is this on someone's TODO list? If not, maybe I'll have a look. Thomas

The most important things are: 1. Packaging guidelines 2. Component upgrade guidelines 3. Namespace issues (addressed above) 4. Zope 2 vs Zope 3 (again, addressed above) I think we should talk sooner rather than later. Anyone want to setup a meeting time? Just an FYI, it is my current plan (probably because I am completely ignorant as to how much pain this will cause) is to simply package the latest version of all Zenoss dependencies and then work through whatever bugs I find. I'm in a somewhat unique situation though in that I have the ability to commit to upstream. This may be a less than ideal plan for other applications. As I mentioned to Jonathan on IRC, I think the best plan is to try to get something working'ish as soon as possible and then try to shakedown the details from there. If we bog ourselves down in policy (an easy quagmire to get stuck in when in zopeland) we may get too discouraged to continue. Not to dismiss what will be the very needed policy, I just want to make sure no-one gets burned out. One thing we may want to consider is a "tenant" policy. That is, the zope stack as a whole has "tenants" (Zenoss, Plone, etc). The tenants would be formally defined and any upgrade to any component in the platform would require signoff from all the tenants who depend on that component (or some derivation thereof). I suspect that the short-term trade-off of buildouts/bundling is not as valuable as the long-term value of testing a software product across multiple versions of its dependencies. Nathaniel

Or is this different ? Are you planning to put them in Fedora ? Between may you put x86_64 builds in your repo ? -- Rakesh Pandit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rakesh freedom, friends, features, first
