Description: Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming
language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of
other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated
compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an
extensive mathematical function library. The library, largely written
in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran
libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing,
and string processing.

This package needs the double-conversion library to build:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1040027

rpmlint shows a few errors, but these are in part spurious:
- E: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath: Julia links against private libraries
/usr/lib/julia/. I think it is correct to set the rpath for that.
- E: missing-call-to-setgroups: This is triggered because the Julia standard
library offers issetuid() and issetgid() functions, and the rpmlint check is
very rough. Julia does not run as setuid in any way.
- W: dangling-relative-symlink: Here I'm probably doing something wrong because
rpmlint does not detect that the file the symlink points to
(/usr/share/man/man1/julia.1.gz) is provided by the julia package, which is a
dependency of julia-devel. I've tried adding Requires:
exists(/usr/share/man/man1/julia.1.gz), but that does not fix the problem.
- E: non-standard-dir-perm: I don't understand what creates this
%{buildroot}/usr/src/debug/tmp directory. I've tried removing it at the end of
the %install phase, but it doesn't exist at that point, so I guess it's created
when generating the debuginfo package. Is this a bug?

These are my two first packages so I need sponsoring. Thanks for your help! :-)
