FEDORA-EPEL-2024-8ac412680c — newpackage update for redhat-lsb

unpushed

redhat-lsb-5.0-0.16.20231006git8d00acdc.el9

FEDORA-EPEL-2024-8ac412680c created by sergiomb 6 months ago for Fedora EPEL 9

redhat-lsb 5.0 with new source location
Recommends the software which is not available on epel
Add packages description:

This package is not compliance with LSB, because various components are missing from Fedora or EPEL, so compliance is not possible. Fedora or EPEL explicitly declines add support the missing components from LSB 5.0 or earlier because these components are very outdated and have been removed from the repositories and possibly replaced with new ones. This package tries its best to comply with the LSB. Hoping to be helpful and continue to support the LSB project and software that uses it

redhat-lsb now provides lsb_release, in future maybe we can remove the rest of sub-packages since LSB 5.0 is out of date
Remove sub-pacakges: redhat-lsb-core, redhat-lsb-cxx, redhat-lsb-desktop, redhat-lsb-languages and redhat-lsb-printing aren't useful for a long time
Switch to a noarch package

karma

This package is missing a dependency. This can be fixed with a dependency on /usr/bin/getopt or on the util-linux package that contains it.

root@c9:~# lsb_release --help
/usr/bin/lsb_release: line 162: getopt: command not found

This summary and last paragraph of the description still do not align with the FESCo guidance to remove any information that implies support for LSB.

Summary     : Implementation of Linux Standard Base specification

Description :
...
The lsb package provides utilities, libraries etc. needed for LSB Compliant
Applications. It also contains requirements that will ensure that all
components required by the LSB are installed on the system.

Bodhi is disabling automatic push to stable due to negative karma. The maintainer may push manually if they determine that the issue is not severe.
