cddlib-debuginfo.i386: E: empty-debuginfo-package
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Debuginfo suggests I should look for -s being passed to gcc or ld, or strip being called somewhere. I'm now building in mock to be able to grep over a build.log for these.
The file: examples-ml/Combinatorica5.m Cannot be included in Fedora cue to the following licensing clause:
This package may be copied in its entirety for nonprofit purposes only. Sale, other than for the direct cost of the media, is prohibited. This copyright notice must accompany all copies.
Good spot. Will rm in prep.
Why -devel and not -static, as there are no solibs?
"2. Static libraries only. When a package only provides static libraries you can place all the static library files in the *-devel subpackage. When doing this you also must have a virtual Provide for the *-static package." from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Librarie...
My personal reason? There are header files too, therefore it's useful for devel.
I'm ok with the docs/examples being bundled, they're not that big, left to packager discretion IMHO.
Otherwise, a good review. Checking mock BRs, will be slightly delayed there due to system issues. :(
Thanks for helping Paulo out. I appreciate the input from both of you!
