Hi fedora devel list,

The new elfutils upstream comes with a debuginfod server which we want
packaged (as a sub-package) for fedora. Testing looks good and
everything seems to work, but rpmlint flags a couple of issues that I
don't think should be real issues. Could someone help me understand why
rpmlint seems unhappy with:

   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /var/cache/debuginfod 
debuginfod
   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid /var/cache/debuginfod 
debuginfod
   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: E: non-standard-dir-perm /var/cache/debuginfod 
700
   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid 
/var/cache/debuginfod/debuginfod.sqlite debuginfod
   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid 
/var/cache/debuginfod/debuginfod.sqlite debuginfod
   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: E: non-readable 
/var/cache/debuginfod/debuginfod.sqlite 600
   elfutils-debuginfod.x86_64: E: zero-length 
/var/cache/debuginfod/debuginfod.sqlite

These are all done deliberately through the following constructs in the spec 
file:

In %pre to create the debuginfod user:

   getent group debuginfod >/dev/null || groupadd -r debuginfod
   getent passwd debuginfod >/dev/null || \
       useradd -r -g debuginfod -d /var/cache/debuginfod -s /sbin/nologin \
               -c "elfutils debuginfo server" debuginfod
   exit 0

In %install to create the dir/file artifacts:

   mkdir -p ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_localstatedir}/cache/debuginfod
   touch ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_localstatedir}/cache/debuginfod/debuginfod.sqlite

And in %files to install them with the right permissions:

   %dir %attr(0700,debuginfod,debuginfod) %{_localstatedir}/cache/debuginfod
   %verify(not md5 size mtime) %attr(0600,debuginfod,debuginfod) 
%{_localstatedir}/cache/debuginfod/debuginfod.sqlite

Should anything be done differently or does any of that violate
(rpmlint) policy somehow?

Thanks,

Mark
