[Mageia-dev] Big problem with a rpm => freeswitch

Sun Dec 9 01:57:25 CET 2012

Hello,
+
+while looking to beta1 isos pbs i saw a pb with a rpm that shouldn't
+have been allowed to go in mageia cauldron. The package is freeswitch.
+
+First the spec file is "excuse me the word" awful ( see
+http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/freeswitch/current/SPECS/freeswitch.spec?revision=328996&view=markup
+)
+
+1- macro redefined
+2- Use of some LIBDIR PKGCONFIGDIR macros instead of using the std
+rpms macros  like :
+
+
+%define	PREFIX		%{_prefix}
+%define EXECPREFIX	%{_exec_prefix}
+%define BINDIR		%{_bindir}
+%define SBINDIR		%{_sbindir}
+%define LIBEXECDIR	%{_libexecdir}/%name
+%define SYSCONFDIR	%{_sysconfdir}/%name
+%define SHARESTATEDIR	%{_sharedstatedir}/%name
+%define LOCALSTATEDIR	%{_localstatedir}/lib/%name
+%define LIBDIR		%{_libdir}
+%define INCLUDEDIR	%{_includedir}
+
+
+3-  libs are in the main package
+4- the package can break other packages like firefox as it provides
+%{_libdir}/libnspr4.so
+
+
+I think this package must be removed from mageia as long as its
+packaging isn't cleaned and should be reviewed before being included
+in mageia in the future.
+
+WDYT ?
+
+Regards,
+D.
