Resouces do not get carried from x86 to x86_64 packages

Question

Resouces do not get carried from x86 to x86_64 packages

diversys opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

Resouces are only copied from x86_64 to x86_gcc2 packages and not the other way around.

Rather than copying data around which is already quite messy and would get even more messy bi-directionally, I will re-factor the data model so that the packages are able to share the data. This will be a better long-term strategy. This will be a quite tricky as it will touch a number of areas of the system. There will soon be a release of HDS ready and I will wait until that has settled in production before looking into this one.

I have the following set of packages as an example;

libpcre0
libpcre0_source
libpcre0_x86
libpcre0_x86_source
libpcre2
libpcre2_devel
libpcre2_source
libpcre2_x86
libpcre2_x86_devel
libpcre2_x86_source
libpcre
libpcre_debuginfo
libpcre_devel
libpcre_source
libpcre_x86
libpcre_x86_debuginfo
libpcre_x86_devel
libpcre_x86_source

Can you verify which of these should share their;

icons
screenshots
localizations
package categorization

Yes, all these and maybe prominence too?

I don't think prominence should be shared like this. It would be a bit strange to get "" on the front-page and have to also have the "_devel" package there as well.

Can you please comment on the arrangement (algorithm) by which packages know to share data with each other. At present the following package name pattern is used;

<base-package-name>
<base-package-name>_devel
<base-package-name>_x86
<base-package-name>_x86_devel

Should this pattern also be extended to...

<base-package-name>_source
<base-package-name>_x86_source
<base-package-name>_debuginfo
<base-package-name>_x86_debuginfo

...?

Are you using any other suffix patterns that are involved? @waddlesplash -- you may have some insight here?

Sergei Reznikov · Answer 5 · Mon Jan 21 2019 15:53:30 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I meant prominence should probably be carried for base packages from x86 to x86_64 too. BTW, do we really need to see debuginfo packages in HDS? Maybe hide them by default with an option to show them if really needed.
I mean debuginfo is something which needed in extremely rare cases.

@diversys ; can you please open two new tickets explaining;

That prominence should be shared and explain the algorithm to ascertain which packages should share the same prominence.
Delete "_debuginfo" packages and ignore them on import.

This should be resolved in the 1.0.109 / 1.0.110 deployment.
