Re: [bug #20003] Two patches for packaging a relatively rpmlint clean gnustep-make rpm

[Gareth Armstrong]

Hello Nicola,

sorry for the late reply. Many thanks for taking on-board my 
suggestions.  I have updated my rpm spec file (attached and dependent 
patches) for the stable gnustep-make 2.0.4  based on your suggestions 
and with an additional patch.  The resulting rpm package when verified 
by rpmlint, spits this out on Fedora 8:

$ rpmlint 
/home/gareth/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/gnustep-make-2.0.4-1.ocek.fc8.x86_64.rpm
gnustep-make.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package 
/usr/bin/gnustep-config
gnustep-make.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 
/usr/share/doc/gnustep-make-2.0.4/Documentation/User/GNUstep/README.Darwin
gnustep-make.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 
/usr/share/doc/gnustep-make-2.0.4/ChangeLog.1
gnustep-make.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/profile.d/gnustep.csh
gnustep-make.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/profile.d/gnustep.sh
gnustep-make.x86_64: E: no-binary

So we are nearly there.  To get where I am now I had to add a 
fhs-system-x86_64 file (gnustep-make-2.0.4-fhs-system-x86_64.patch)for 
x86_64 platforms.  I would like to know your thoughts on this.  But with 
this I can now compile x86_64 bit gnustep-base packages.  Are my 
assumptions for the variables correct?

Adding this file however, flavorizes (e.g. i386.rpm, x86_64.rpm) the 
resulting gnustep-make rpm package because /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf now 
contains a hard coded path for either /usr/lib/ on i386 or /usr/lib64 on 
x86_64 platforms.  The rpm package should really be a noarch.rpm package 
as it doesn't contain any binaries.  I don't have a quick and ready 
solution but maybe /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf could be made a little 
dynamic depending on the underlying platform?

Looking forward to your feedback.

All the best,

Gareth

%description
The gnustep-makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way
to write makefiles for a GNUstep-based project.  It allows the user to
write a project without having to deal with the complex issues
associated with configuration, building, installation, and packaging.
It also allows the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.

+# FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) filesystem layout for system 
installations
+#
+# This is the standard FHS Unix filesystem layout to use when
+# installing into /usr.  Use this if you want GNUstep to blend into
+# your GNU/Linux filesystem (or any other Unix with a similar
+# filesystem) and you are compiling gnustep-make so that it can be
+# shipped as part of a distribution/basic system installation.
+#
+# We put SYSTEM into /usr, and LOCAL into /usr/local.  This allows you
+# to make a distinction between stuff that you ship as part of your
+# system/distribution, and the local stuff installed by the local
+# sysadmin.  Make sure you compile/install all packages that you want
+# to go into /usr (ie, be part of the system/distribution) using 
+# 'make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM'
+#
+# To get system packages to work in this layout, you need /usr/bin in
+# your PATH, and /usr/lib64 in your /etc/ld.so.conf (or equivalent for
+# your Unix).  Don't forget to run ldconfig after installing a
+# library!
+#
+# Your users will need to also add /usr/local/bin to PATH and

+# they want to use the LOCAL domain.  To use gnustep-make in this
+# environment, use 'export
