Description

modified in rawhide... There is one issue with the implementation as of 14:3.9.4-6: libpcap.so is in the main libpcap package, and libpcap-devel does not have a dependency on libpcap. The result is that packages that have "BuildRequires: libpcap-devel" will not have libpcap pulled in in various build roots, and because the *.so symlink is in the main package and thus not available, will become statically linked with libpcap.a, which is unexpected. Fix: move the libpcap.so symlink to libpcap-devel and/or add a dependency on libpcap to libpcap-devel. Additionally, is there a need to ship the static lib in the first place? One more thing while at it: libpcap-devel ships the empty /usr/include/net directory which seems odd, perhaps that can be dropped? going by Fedora Extras policy, which new Core packages must use. you need to put the .so files in the devel packages and you need to have the libpcap-devel package Require a versioned libpcap package Agreed -- fixed these up in CVS |
