xstereograph.s390x: W: executable-stack /usr/lib64/libsx.so The binary declares the stack as executable. Executable stack is usually an error as it is only needed if the code contains GCC trampolines or similar constructs which uses code on the stack. One common source for needlessly executable stack cases are object files built from assembler files which don't define a proper .note.GNU-stack section. xstereograph.s390x: W: files-duplicate /usr/share/doc/packages/xstereograph/COPYING /usr/share/doc/packages/xstereograph/stereograph/COPYING xstereograph.s390x: W: install-file-in-docs /usr/share/doc/packages/xstereograph/stereograph/INSTALL A file whose name suggests that it contains installation instructions is included in the package. Such instructions are often not relevant for already installed packages; if this is the case for this file and it does not contain any information that is of interest after the package has been built and installed, do not include the file in the binary package. xstereograph.s390x: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib64/libsx.so exit@GLIBC_2.2 This library package calls exit() or _exit(), probably in a non-fork() context. Doing so from a library is strongly discouraged - when a library function calls exit(), it prevents the calling program from handling the error, reporting it to the user, closing files properly, and cleaning up any state that the program has. It is preferred for the library to return an actual error code and let the calling program decide how to handle the situation. xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/include/SX/libsx.h xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/cube.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/dodecahedron.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/heart.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/hyperboloid.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/icosahedron.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/octahedron.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/sphere.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/tetrahedron.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/torus.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/trefoil_knot.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/waves.c xstereograph.s390x: E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/xstereograph/mathfiles/waves_hyp.c A file that is needed only e.g. when developing or building software is included in a non-devel package.
