Description:
qrupdate is a Fortran library for fast updates of QR and Cholesky
decompositions. 

rpmlint output:
qrupdate-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
4 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

This package is needed for fast QR & Cholesky in Octave.

Cc Rakesh.

Comment 2 Jason Tibbitts 2009-07-11 15:03:27 UTC
rpmlint output is actually:
  qrupdate-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
not a problem

  qrupdate.x86_64: W: unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64
   /libqrupdate.so.1.0 /lib64/libm.so.6
  qrupdate.x86_64: W: unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64
   /libqrupdate.so.1.0 /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1
The library is linked against other libraries that it does not use.  You have to install the rpm and then do "rpmlint qrupdate" to see these.  I don't think these are problematic; it's not as if those libraries won't be linked in for some other reason.

I'm surprised there's nothing like a header, but I guess that's Fortan.  You just call the functions and hope you get the arguments the right way 'round.

* source files match upstream.  sha256sum:

    1.0.1.tar.gz
* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.                                                              
* description is OK.                                                          
* dist tag is present.
* build root is OK.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* license text included in package.
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* compiler flags are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64).
* package installs properly.
* debuginfo package looks complete.
* rpmlint has acceptable complaints.
* final provides and requires are sane:
  qrupdate-1.0.1-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
   libqrupdate.so.1()(64bit)
   qrupdate = 1.0.1-1.fc12

   libgfortran.so.3(GFORTRAN_1.0)(64bit)
   liblapack.so.3()(64bit)
   libqrupdate.so.1()(64bit)

  qrupdate-devel-1.0.1-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
   qrupdate-devel = 1.0.1-1.fc12
   qrupdate-devel(x86-64) = 1.0.1-1.fc12
  =
   libqrupdate.so.1()(64bit)
   qrupdate = 1.0.1-1.fc12

* %check is present and all tests pass:
   TOTAL:     PASSED 112     FAILED   0

* shared libraries are installed:
   ldconfig is called properly.
   unversioned .so link is in the -devel package.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* no generically named files.
* scriptlets are OK (ldconfig).
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -doc subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* no headers.
* no pkgconfig files.
* no static libraries.
* no libtool .la files.

Oh, didn't notice that.

So was I. I think this is a 'feature' of Fortran 77; Fortran 90 has module files that do this.

I really don't know *why* anyone would still want to write in a language that lacks e.g. dynamic memory allocation and has an 8 character length limit in function names and so on. qrupdate seems to have been written in 2008-2009!!!

(Not to mention that modern Fortran compilers often have lacking F77 capabilities..)
