[PATCH] Split out e2fsprogs sublibraries
by Richard W.M. Jones
Eric,
I would like to propose that e2fsprogs generate four subpackages for
the independent libraries that it contains. These four libraries are
used by other packages that don't need the whole of e2fsprogs-devel
(eg. krb5_workstation uses libss, qpid uses libuuid, and many programs
use libcom_err).
Our specific use case is to help with ongoing work porting libraries
to MinGW (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW) where we would prefer
to package mingw32-libuuid for mingw32-qpidc without needing to port
the whole of e2fsprogs.
I looked at Debian's package, and would like to propose a split along
the same lines:
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/e2fsprogs
Despite the apparent complexity, there are only really four
subpackages. For the Fedora package we would create:
libblkid libblkid-devel
libcom_err libcom_err-devel [note 1]
libss libss-devel
libuuid libuuid-devel
There are no conflicting package names in Fedora at the moment, except
for the similarly named libss7 (a library implementing Signalling
System 7 telephone switching protocol).
I have attached a patch against Rawhide which does the above split. I
set up the dependencies so there should be no loss of functionality
for users who install just e2fsprogs or e2fsprogs-devel.
What remains is to advertize the split on fedora-devel-list and
encourage package maintainers to replace:
BuildRequires: e2fsprogs-devel
with
BuildRequires: lib<uuid|ss|blkid|com_err>-devel
where appropriate.
Please let me know what you think.
Rich.

[Bug 485842] New: mingw32-w32api should provide mingw32(version.dll)
by Red Hat Bugzilla

Summary: mingw32-w32api should provide mingw32(version.dll)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485842
Summary: mingw32-w32api should provide mingw32(version.dll)
Product: Fedora
Version: 10
Platform: All
URL: http://sailer.fedorapeople.org
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: mingw32-w32api
AssignedTo: rjones(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: t.sailer(a)alumni.ethz.ch
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: berrange(a)redhat.com, rjones(a)redhat.com,
fedora-mingw(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
I'm trying to package winpcap
http://sailer.fedorapeople.org/mingw32-wpcap-4.1.beta5-1.fc10.src.rpm
packet.dll links with libversion.a from mingw32-w32api. libversion.a pulls in
version.dll, therefore my mingw32-wpcap requires mingw32(version.dll). But no
package provides it, so I cannot install the newly built rpm.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mingw32-w32api-3.12-8.fc10.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpmbuild --rebuild mingw32-wpcap-4.1.beta5-1.fc10.src.rpm
2.rpm -i mingw32-wpcap-4.1.beta5-1.fc10.noarch.rpm
Actual results:
error: Failed dependencies:
mingw32(version.dll) is needed by mingw32-wpcap-4.1.beta5-1.fc10.noarch
Expected results:
mingw32-wpcap installs without error message

Debugging information in MinGW packages
by Kevin Kofler
Hi,
what's the correct way to handle debugging information in MinGW packages?
Currently, mingw32-nsis builds everything with debugging information (due to
the debian-debug-opt patch), even the MinGW parts, but the MinGW debugging
information is not extracted, so it's included within the binaries. This is
particularly annoying for NSIS installers as it bloats the installer stubs.
For example, the lzma_solid stub is 210185 bytes, running a MinGW strip on
it reduces it to 55296 bytes.
Do we really want debugging information in the MinGW stuff even if it can't
be extracted into separate -debuginfo? Or should the MinGW portions of NSIS
be built without -g instead? Should the same policy apply to everything or
should NSIS be special? (I can see why a developer would want to have
debugging information for a library, but for an installer?)

mingw32-gtk2, gtk-demo fails on loading images.
by Mikkel Kruse Johnsen
Hi All
Have had some problems running the gtk-demo on windows (and through
wine) it fails when loading images.
I talked to "tml" on the #gtk+ IRC and he suggested that mingw32-gtk+
was compiled without GDI+, so I recompiled it with "--disable-gdiplus
--without-libtiff" and everyting works fine now. Images is loading.
Trying to get TIFF support, found mingw32-libtiff
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=204414&package_id=2...) compiled it without problems, but mingw32-gtk+ don't recognice it doing configure.
Could we compile mingw32-gtk+ without GDI+ and mayby someone could
figure out why libtiff check fails ?
