Description From Alain Roy 2008-10-08 10:59:46

Hi,

I labeled this bug for 4.2.0, but it applies to 4.0.x as well. 

I think that common/source/scripts/globus-makefile-header.gpt1 should be
removed from Globus 4.0.x and Globus 4.2.x. 

globus-makefile-header.gpt1 is a Perl program that relies on
Grid::GPT::Package. However, this is not part of GPT 3.2, so it cannot possibly
work. 

I care because when I generate RPMs for Globus, I like to use RPM's ability to
automatically generate "requires" information for an RPM. That is, RPM will
look at all the missing shared libraries and Perl libraries and mark them as
dependencies in the RPM. RPM finds globus-makefile-header.gpt1 and assumes that
the RPM should depend on Grid::GPT::Package, but GPT does not provide it. 

Can you remove globus-makefile-header.gpt1 from Globus (or, if you really care,
update it so it's correct), so this isn't a problem anymore? Since it's not a
useful script anymore, its removal shouldn't cause any problems. 

Thanks,
-alain
