Description Dimitri Jakov 2012-05-05 18:50:17 CEST

Description of problem:

Our build system doesn't accept any packages that contain filenames with percent sign in their names. This seems to be wrong, because sometimes %-encoded symbols in filenames can be intentional. For example, Racket uses this to encode "/" symbol in file and directory names like "srfi/1".

Rejection is caused by rpmlint:

Submission errors, aborting:
- racket-5.2-1.mga2.i586:
 - unexpanded-macro /usr/lib/racket/collects/srfi/compiled/%3a6_rkt.dep %3a6_rkt
 - unexpanded-macro /usr/lib/racket/collects/srfi/%3a25/multi-dimensional-arrays.rkt %3a25

and so on. Seems like rpmlint policy should be updated.

Comment 1 Nicolas Vigier 2012-05-05 20:02:24 CEST

We can add exceptions for the files that contains % in their path.

Do you have a list of those files ?

Comment 2 Nicolas Vigier 2012-05-05 20:12:42 CEST

An exception has been added in rpmlint policy.

Comment 3 Barry Jackson 2012-12-08 00:00:52 CET

Can this be fixed in a similar manner?

There are file names with %20 in them.

Thanks.

Barry, OK to close this bug?

Comment 6 Barry Jackson 2012-12-21 17:42:57 CET

I was hoping the package maintainer would fix it, but that's nobody, and I had forgotten about this :\

I would rather someone conversant with the package does this.

As there is no maintainer for this package I added the committers in CC.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

Merci Guillaume !

Now opencpn may be submitted without being rejected :)

Let Barry try this again.
