[opensuse-buildservice] Importing rubygem-json to my project
Hi all, my project (kubeplayer) needs th ruby json gem installed, which is available as rubygem-json in a foreign home repo, but not in the official repos of opensuse. How can I import this package to my repo to fullfil its dependency? Json belongs to the std libs from ruby 1.9.x on. I was really suprised, that a modern distro like opensuse still delivers ruby 1.8.x!

Your project has enabled a certain amount of repositories (or 'distribution' targets) to build against, each points to a repository of another OBS project (also called 'paths' in OBS lingo). [1] explains how to add more, note that you can do that also in the webui.

Packaging both 1.8 and 1.9 in parallel is a lot of work and there's a lot of gems out there that depend on 1.8.

I added the repo devel:languages:ruby:extensions which contains the package rubygem-json. I also added this package as a requirement to my spec-file, but when I want to install the rpm now, I get the following message: Problem: nothing provides rubygem-json needed by kubeplayer-1.0-20.1.noarch Solution 1: do not install kubeplayer-1.0-20.1.noarch Solution 2: break kubeplayer by ignoring some of its dependencies Obviously I need to import/copy the package to my repo. I thought I did that already by adding the extra repo. Kind regards, Robert Am Mittwoch, 18. Mai 2011, 08:52:16 schrieb Sascha Peilicke:

How can I import this package to my repo to fullfil its dependency? This can be done by either linking or aggregating the package into your repository [1]. BTW. this also solves the build-time dependency, so no need to add d:l:r:e as a repo dependency.
