Packaging for SLE 11 SP4: binary /bin/vim is linked against libraries in /usr

[fusion809]

Hi,

I am trying to build my Vim package for SLE 11 SP4 and while my package builds fine for SLE 12 and later and all supported openSUSE releases I get the error:

when I built on SLE 11 SP4. Now I really have no idea how to fix this error, while simultaneously not making my spec file unsuitable for SLE 12 and later and supported releases of openSUSE.

Thanks for your time,

I wonder how you end up with /bin/vim and not /usr/bin/vim. I miss link to your project.

[fusion809]

Here is my project https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...on809/vim-suse. I got /bin/vim by merely installing with %makeinstall. I didn't move it at all. /usr/bin/vim exists but it is a symlink to /bin/vim.

[fusion809]

I just downloaded and extracted the official Vim RPM package for openSUSE Leap 42.2 and it has a vim binary at exactly the same location /bin/vim, so this isn't so unusual... Likewise its /usr/bin/vim is a symlink to /bin/vim.

[arvidjaar]

I got /bin/vim by merely installing with %makeinstall.

No, you do not. spec contains explicit instructions for linking it after running %makeinstall. %makeinstall correctly creates /usr/bin/vim which is then explicitly overridden by further commands in spec file.

I would just replace it with link /bin/vim -> /usr/bin/vim.

[fusion809]

Ah, I was using Vim to edit this file and I used its search tools to see if later on I moved the vim binary anywhere. Turns out that my search expression was faulty. Thanks. Now with this spec file I am getting the error:

now sure what I'm doing that's stuffing up these symlinks and not causing /usr/bin/vim to exist... Any ideas?

[fusion809]

Never mind, trivial error I was moving ${_bindir}/vim to ${_bindir}/gvim-gtk2 straight after I had moved vim to %{_bindir}/vim.

[fusion809]

One last set of errors I am getting for this build... it is from RPMLint:

[  116s] vim.noarch: E: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object (Badness: 499) /usr/bin/vim
[  116s] vim.noarch: E: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object (Badness: 499) /usr/bin/xxd
[  116s] vim.noarch: E: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object (Badness: 499) /usr/bin/vitmp
[  116s] gvim-gtk2.noarch: E: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object (Badness: 499) /usr/bin/gvim-gtk2
[  116s] The package contains a binary or object file but is tagged noarch.
[  116s]

now you might ask, "Why not just add addFilter(arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object) to rpmlintrc and reference that rpmlintrc in my spec file's source lines?" I'm not doing this because I never specified in my spec file (using the BuildArch: field) that the vim package or gvim-gtk2 package were to be noarch (i.e., arch independent). So why is the OBS treating these packages as architecture-independent? Look through my spec file you'll find only two packages I specified as noarch, gvim-data and vim-data. Any ideas, why I'm getting this error and how I might fix it?
