Sure, bundled libs should be handled like bundled libs and there's a reason that process exists but that's not my argument here. I don't think that the Tensile in tensilelite _is_ a bundle in the sense that we care about for packaging. As near as I can tell, this package never installs the forked, bundled Tensile - it just installs it in a source dir subdirectory, adds that subdirectory to PATH and PYTHONPATH before doing the actual hipblaslt build where I think it's used to generate the platform-specific kernels. The Fedora package doesn't even provide Tensile which is why I don't think it needs to have a bundled provides in the spec. Even if there were a CVE in this bundled Tensile, it's never distributed in a Fedora package - it just exists on builders for a short time before that disk is reclaimed post-build. We can have a discussion about whether that's a good practice or not but unless there's something I'm missing here, this package in its current state isn't bundling Tensile. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
