I don't think we need to specify in the guidelines explicitly whether should be be excluded or subpackaged, but one of those two options is likely in general. I think the macros in comment 14 can handle Cabal just fine. I'll attach a spec file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460304 --- Comment #25 from Rajesh Krishnan <fedora(a)krishnan.cc> 2008-09-05 19:26:19 EDT --- BRYAN: 1. The original set of macros published as part of Jens/Yaakov's updates would not correctly build cabal packages with mixed case package names. The "internal_name" variable is necessary to take care of that. 2. For the argument against deleting the executables after building, see point (2.) in the next section below. YAAKOV: 1. I just compared the macros.ghc you submitted with the one I have and they are identical. Thank you for taking care of my concerns in your updated macros.ghc submission. 2. As for your question about the necessity of the test executables, I have no idea, because I am not the original author of the Crypto cabal package. So in order to avoid ticking-off the very few developers who might actually need those under some special circumstances (the tiniest bit of crypto-related software being too important these days), I did not feel it was appropriate to miss out that detail by simply deleting those executables after compilation. Hence the logical choice of spinning out the -devel package with those executables. 3. As for the %test macro, I think at this time the ghc-crypto rpm spec does not really need that. I felt it would be just easier for me to provide the users of ghc-crypto with the means of testing it for themselves (with the executables in ghc-crypto-devel package). 4. I am building a lot of other cabal packages with our latest macros.ghc and will let everyone know if we need any updates. -Rajesh -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460304 --- Comment #24 from Yaakov Nemoy <loupgaroublond(a)gmail.com> 2008-09-05 12:23:36 EDT --- Rajesh, are any of those executables necessary at all? Are they needed for testing the package itself after being built? Are they necessary for testing packages that depend on them? In any case, I think you should name the spec file 'ghc-crypto.spec' and iclude a comment stating the exception. There's no need to revise the guidelines for something like this. Secondly, if the executables are not needed once the package has been built, note that there is a %test section in the RPM spec that is not often used. Feel free to take advantage of this. If they are needed for dependencies, then just spit out a -devel package, comment why it's needed, and comment on it in the review as well. As for the makefile business, The macros are based on bryan's work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is no reason we would want to package or ship useless binaries. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
