Package: libatomic1 Version: 12-20220428-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Currently we have libatomic.so.1 but no unversioned libatomic.so. The next version of Qt (6.3.1) will have this CMake code to find atomic library when there std::atomic does not work out of the box: find_library(atomic_LIB atomic REQUIRED) This searches for unversioned libatomic.so. I proposed a patch for Qt to support libatomic.so.1, but upstream Qt Core maintainer responded with the following: > That's just a packaging mistake in your Linux distribution. libatomic.so > exists on OpenSUSE: > > $ rpm -ql gcc12 | grep libatomic > /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/12/libatomic.a > /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/12/libatomic.so > $ rpm -ql gcc11 | grep libatomic > /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/11/libatomic.a > /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/11/libatomic.so > > I also see it in the listing for gcc in Fedora > (https://fedora.pkgs.org/35/fedora-updates-x86_64/gcc-11.3.1-2.fc35.x86_64.rpm.html), > CentOS Stream 9 > (https://centos.pkgs.org/9-stream/centos-appstream-aarch64/gcc-11.3.1-2.el9.aarch64.rpm.html), > Alpine Linux > (https://alpine.pkgs.org/3.15/alpine-main-aarch64/gcc-10.3.1_git20211027-r0.apk.html), > Slackware > (https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/slackware-x86_64/gcc-11.3.0-x86_64-1.txz.html), > even FreeBSD Ports > (https://freebsd.pkgs.org/13/freebsd-amd64/gcc11-11.3.0.pkg.html). > Plus as a separate package for Mageia and OpenMandriva > (https://pkgs.org/download/libatomic-devel). > > So if it's missing in your distro, report it as a bug there. > > Hardcoding the soversion is not a good idea because it could change. See our discussion here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/410167 So can we please have libatomic.so like all these distros? -- Dmitry Shachnev
