Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-03-31 ========================================== Present: sbrabec, mkudlvasr, puzel, pgajdos, matejcik, prusnak, anicka, mseben, mhrusecky, mvyskocil, nadvornik 1. Dropped repository ===================== We agreed on Dropped repository. It should contain some sources of packages dropped from our distribution. This packages will not build against any repository. To Dropped repository should go someone who would like to restore old package. 2. Opensuse Buildservice ======================== We all should use Opensuse Buildservice tools. For example submitting noncritical patches via submit requests to devel project instead of submitting them directly into factory (either via osc or via yapt). Maintainer of package may want to decline patch for various reasons. For example maintainer can be in the middle of version update which includes patch you want to submit. Also submitting patches directly into factory may broke devel project and other projects linked against it. And these projects may contain several nontrivial already prepared patches. Also using internal tools and not using devel projects makes it more difficult for community members to help us with development. 4. Packaging guidelines ======================= We need HELP with merging our existing SUSE Package Conventions into Fedora Packaging Guidelines. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-03/msg00042.html 5. Status reports ================= anicka - perl modules: update to current versions mhrusecky - working on MySQL upgrade in OBS mseben openmotif : bnc#486469 fixed and submitted openmotif21-libs zlib : bnc#490107 problem with zlib license virtualbox-ose : fixed libXalan-c-devel dependency and working on bnc#484333 mvyskocil - test of icedtea bug#264, updated icedtea to 1.4.1 in Java:openjdk6 and Factory (sr#8626) pgajdos * diffstat update to 1.47 (works with patch ".rej" files) prusnak - psi: fixed problems with Qt 4.5, enable whiteboarding and MPRIS - reviewing GSoC applications - porting Packaging Guidelines - cleaned gammu/wammu spec in upstream, so it could be used in Factory without changes - installed instance of OBS for hacking purposes puzel - looking for useful dropped packages - make wt build again - investigate and reassign #460787 - zypper lr crashes in libzypp sbrabec openct, pcsc-cyberjack: Fixing smart card packages (bnc#438131, bnc#413284, bnc#304149) and backporting hal to security:chipcard (bnc#492427, bnc#492431).

[opensuse-factory] Latest Update of KDE 4.22 Factory for 11.1 Renders KDE 4.2 Unbootable
by Sudhir 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

The KDE4 desktop was updated normally using Yast and KDE4 factory repositories. In the past, this has not caused any problems. This time however KDE4 does not start. KDM fails to show the login in screen. GDM boots up and displays the login screen, allowing access to KDE3 and Gnome but not KDE4. Using XDM as the login manager, an error message complains: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 139. Check your installation." Searching on the internet did not point to a solution. The file contain the program (kdebase4-workspace-4.2.2-219.1.i586.rpm) was downloaded from the 11.1 Factory respository and installed but to no avail. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks for any help. Sudhir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] YaST Partitioner: is it 11.1 the same as Factory? (Missing option to edit/add lable)
by Rajko M. 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

If it is the same then workflow is missing branch for labeling of external hard disks without mounting the drive. This is important for external hard disk drives that are usually mounted dynamically, so there is no need to specify mount point in fstab. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I have just checked the two packages and it appeared that the packman repo had two additional patches. I have included those now also in my packages and they are currently being rebuild. After the rebuild the two are equal. Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, As i used this page: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_on_the_EeePC#ath5k , to orientate myself to install opensuse 11.1 on eee-pc, i noticed that it is not up to date anymore.. Is it possible to get the hotkey support for 11.1/11.2 in some online repo? F1 to F9 are most important.... ;) many thnx if someone would look into this... (many eee-pc owners on the dutch pda- forum are very interested in opensuse on eee-pc..) -- Have a nice day, Oddball, aka M9.

The first one opera-default-fonts.patch is not accepted by openSUSE:Factory, but used to work before. The second one opera6rc.diff is the new patch that works on Factory. As indicated, it is nothing serious, but all packagers should check their packages if they have been built currently or that they would require a new patch. Regards Raymond

[opensuse-factory] Certain patch files fail due to new version of Patch in upcoming Factory
by Raymond Wooninck 03 Apr '09

Dear All, I guess that maybe some of you already noticed it, but some previous successfully build packages are suddenly failing for the openSUSE:Factory repository only. This seems to be caused by the new version of Patch that is in the currently being build Factory. Unfortunately the patchfiles that are failing need to be recreated after the new version of patch is installed. Fortunately there are no backwards compatibility issues.

[opensuse-factory] For Testing: new version of HPLIP (3.9.2)
by Raymond Wooninck 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello, I have provided for testing HPLIP version 3.9.2 (packages hplip-3.9.2 and hplip-hpijs-3.9.2) for openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE 11.0, openSUSE 11.1 and for the openSUSE development version "FACTORY" for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64) via the openSUSE build service at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rwooninck:/updates/ The packages are * only for testing * without any guarantee or warranty * without any support As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. For example I did some quick tests with a HP PhotoSmart C5180 all-in-one device on a 32-bit workstation with openSUSE 11.2Factory and printing worked normally. Do not use FACTORY if your system is 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1. Use the matching package for your particular system. FACTORY is not better, it is worse when you have openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1. Using whatever packages from FACTORY in a openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 system causes crashes in arbitrary cases because you would also need the base system from FACTORY. You can easily mess up your openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 system with FACTORY updates. In case of problems the RPM changelog via rpm -q --changelog hplip might provide hints which change cause an issue in particular on older systems (openSUSE 10.3). The version number 3.9.2 is higher than the version of the original packages in openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 so that you may have to remove installed hplip-3.9.2 and hplip-hpijs-3.9.2 packages manually using (as root) rpm -e --nodeps hplip hplip-hpijs before you could re-install the original packages for openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1.
