Description Rex Dieter 2017-07-14 14:18:08 UTC
Seems a fair number of -devel packages currently
Requires: cmake
for the sole purpose of dir ownership of %datadir/cmake or %libdir/cmake, and this seems to not wanted (by users) in some cases

Of course, packages are free to avoid the dep by owning the dir themselves.

Another possibility is a hybrid compomise of providing a lightweight 'cmake-filesystem' pkg that packages can depend on instead.

Thoughts?

Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2017-07-14 14:50:32 UTC
It's just not nice in packages to see:
%dir %{_datadir}/cmake
%dir %{_datadir}/cmake/Modules
%{_datadir}/cmake/Modules/FindLibSolv.cmake

because everyone should do it that way (apart from packages which are useless without cmake)

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2017-07-14 14:57:50 UTC
cmake-filesystem sounds good to me.

Comment 11 Kevin Kofler 2017-07-25 00:11:06 UTC
I think that this is unhelpful, switching to Requires: cmake-filesystem is going to make many packages fail to build because cmake is no longer implicitly dragged in as a transitive BR (and Igor Gnatenko's hack from comment #1 is even worse, multi-owned directories suck). Packages installing cmake configs should just Require cmake. Packages installing pkg-config configs even AUTOMATICALLY require pkg-config these days due to the pkg-config dependency generator. So why do we need to treat cmake differently?
