Even so this is somewhat ugly. + +So the idea is to package up the library part separately so that both +version can be installed. + +In this case the library package should be called "lib64oxygen-gtk3" +(aka "%mklibname oxygen-gtk3" in the spec file). + + +Now in theory it might be nice to separate out the arch independent +stuff and the test binary too. This would save space on the mirrors by +only needing to have one version of all the artwork rather than separate +copies for each arch (it's done with hard links), tho' in this +particular case it wouldn't result in much saving. + + +So you could but the test files in oxygen-gtk3-test, the library in the +the afore mentioned library name and leave the oxygen-gtk3 package with +data only and flag it as noarch. + +This isn't exactly how oxygen-gtk package does it (it puts the test +binary and the arch independent stuff together in the oxygen-gtk +package), but hopefully you catch the drift :) + + + +HTHs + +Col + + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="009901.html">[Mageia-dev] Libification of oxygen-gtk3 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="009884.html">[Mageia-dev] [changelog] cauldron core/release systemd-37-12.mga2 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#9910">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#9910">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#9910">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#9910">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
