Thanks, Neal. As I explained in a previous round, the "library-not-linked-against-lib" issue is one we cannot resolve w/o significant changes in the way we build the libraries - changes I am not prepared to make in the 0.6.x series. The good news is that this one has been fixed for 0.7.0 (see http://upc-bugs.lbl.gov/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2042 for details). The unstripped kernel modules and packages w/o documentation are easy enough to fix. I'll make a note to myself, but there are not a high priority for me. The lack of blcr-devel -> blcr dependency is intended. The blcr-devel package depends on blcr-libs because that is where the required libraries reside. The "base" blcr package contains nothing that is needed for blcr-devel to function. On a machine where one wished to compile BLCR clients but not run them, blcr-libs + blcr-devel is sufficient. In theory renaming here might silence the warning (blcr becomes blcr-base or blcr-utils and blcr-libs becomes blcr). However, I am not prepared to make this change right now if silencing this warning is the only benefit. However, if package updaters like YUM need this naming scheme, I'll consider the change. Is there Fedora documentation about how packages like this are supposed to be named? -Paul Neal Becker wrote: > Here's what rpmlint on fedora f8 says (only 2 are really errors): > > rpmlint RPM/RPMS/x86_64/blcr-*6.3* > blcr.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 0.6.0_b7 0.6.3-1 > blcr.x86_64: W: service-default-enabled /etc/init.d/blcr > blcr-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation > blcr-devel.x86_64: W: no-dependency-on blcr > blcr-libs.x86_64: E: library-not-linked-against-libc /usr/lib64/libcr.so.0.2.1 > blcr-libs.x86_64: E: library-not-linked-against-libc /usr/lib/libcr.so.0.2.1 > blcr-modules_2.6.23.9_85.fc8.x86_64: W: no-documentation > blcr-modules_2.6.23.9_85.fc8.x86_64: W: > unstripped-binary-or-object /lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/extra/blcr_imports.ko > blcr-modules_2.6.23.9_85.fc8.x86_64: W: > unstripped-binary-or-object /lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/extra/blcr_vmadump.ko > blcr-modules_2.6.23.9_85.fc8.x86_64: W: > unstripped-binary-or-object /lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/extra/blcr.ko > blcr-testsuite.x86_64: W: no-documentation -- Paul H.
