I can change this if you can point to a spec saying this is the Right Way to do it.

Status in Linux port of Cuneiform: Won't Fix Bug description: cuneiform-1.0.0 I build packages for openSUSE. rpmlint warns about shared-lib-calls-exit. RPMLINT report: =============== libcuneiform1.i586: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib/liblns32.so.1.0.0 e...@glibc_2.0 libcuneiform1.i586: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib/libstd32.so.1.0.0 e...@glibc_2.0 libcuneiform1.i586: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib/librfrmt.so.1.0.0 e...@glibc_2.0 This library package calls exit() or _exit(), probably in a non-fork() context. Doing so from a library is strongly discouraged - when a library function calls exit(), it prevents the calling program from handling the error, reporting it to the user, closing files properly, and cleaning up any state that the program has. It is preferred for the library to return an actual error code and let the calling program decide how to handle the situation. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cuneiform Post to : cuneiform@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cuneiform More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
