rpmlint - errors safely to ignore
by Achilleas Pipinellis
Hi all,
I am in the process of an informal review attempt of rugged [0] and I
bumped into some errors that rpmlint found and could be false positives.
I would like your opinion.
1) explicit-lib-dependency libgit2
You must let rpm find the library dependencies by itself. Do not put
unneeded explicit Requires: tags.
I have found only this section in the wiki[1] which is a little
relevant, but some example would be better.
2) non-standard-executable-perm
/usr/lib64/gems/ruby/rugged-0.16.0/lib/rubygem-rugged/rugged.so 0775L
The permissions of all libraries I have in /usr/lib64/gems/ruby/ are 755
so I guess it is safe to ignore.
3) arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share
/usr/share/gems/gems/rugged-0.16.0/lib/rugged/rugged.so
This package installs an ELF binary in the /usr/share hierarchy, which
is reserved for architecture-independent files.
Additionally to 3, running mock it shows that:
------
DEBUG: *** WARNING: identical binaries are copied, not linked:
DEBUG: /usr/share/gems/gems/rugged-0.16.0/lib/rugged/rugged.so
DEBUG: and /usr/lib64/gems/ruby/rugged-0.16.0/lib/rubygem-rugged/rugged.so
------
Are they both needed, is it safe to ignore?
Thank you,
Axilleas

Rails and Bundler
by Ken Dreyer
In looking over the release notes for Rails 4, it looks like it has a
hard requirement on Bundler. Is that the case?
I have been working on patching out Bundler's initialization from
Gitorious in preparation for packaging it, so that I could avoid the
problems associated with hard dependencies on specific minor version
numbers for each Gem. I wonder if the sisyphean boulder is just going
to roll back down the other side of the hill if Rails 4 itself will
require Bundler.
Any advice?
