[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-4176) Useless-provides detected by RPMlint

[Václav Kadlčík (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13322387#comment-13322387 ] 

Václav Kadlčík commented on JBDS-4176:
--------------------------------------

Yes, "useless-provides" is a more of style check, it doesn't prevent from using an affected RPM. Sometimes there are legitimate reasons a RPM provides two or more versions of the same library though it's not quite usual. It just suggests to check if it's intentional, not an uncontrolled load taken by mistake. If it's clear that we know about all those Provides and want (or have to) to keep them as they are now I'm sure Lukáš will be happy to cut them out as false-positives.

> There are only important problems in the list above, another errors/warnings were suppressed according to discussion with [~vkadlcik].
> There is configuration of rpmlint filter: 
> {code}
> addFilter("W: ") 				# Warnings can be suppressed
> addFilter("E: dir-or-file-in-opt") 		# False positive
> addFilter("E: devel-dependency")		# False positive
> addFilter("E: explicit-lib-dependency")		# May be improved but is not important for now
> addFilter("E: non-executable-script")		# 99% of these errors are false positive comming from upstream, there is a very small chance to get relevant error
> addFilter("E: wrong-script-interpreter")	# The same as above
> addFilter("E: zero-length")			# The same as above
> {code}
> [~vkadlcik] please correct me if I'm wrong.
> RPMlint test has been automated, you can find it in [jenkins|https://dev-platform-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/view/DevStudio%20RPM%20Tests/job/rpm_rpmlint_test/]
