hi,
I'm trying to make sense of libproxy packaging. It consists of a regular
library and several modules. Currently, the library follows policy but the
module packages are named libproxy-foo, so they have the same name on x86
and x86-64:
i586 x86-64 description
==========================================================
libproxy1 lib64proxy1 main library
libproxy-gnome libproxy-gnome gnome proxy config support
libproxy-webkit libproxy-webkit webkit pacrunner (?)
etc.
- modules are in /usr/lib(64)/libproxy/%{version}/modules/
- libproxy-gnome also has a binary /usr/lib(64)/pxgconf (in 0.4.6 for
gnome2) or /usr/lib(64)/pxgsettings (in 0.4.7 for gnome3).
This looks wrong because:
- on a biarch system, it is not possible to have e.g. gnome3 settings
support for both archs
- the helper app (?) pxgsettings is put in libexecdir by upstream, so
IMHO it should be in /usr/lib or /usr/libexec, not %{_libdir} which
%{_libexecdir} expands to.
The specfile I have locally changes this to:
i586 x86-64 change
================================================================
libproxy1 lib64proxy1 same
libproxy-gnome lib64proxy-gnome biarch support
libproxy-webkit lib64proxy-webkit biarch support
libproxy-gxsettings libproxy-gxsettings new pkg
etc.
What should dependencies on these modules look like:
Requires: %mklibname proxy-gnome ?
