[opensuse-factory] Can packages in the 11.4 standard or update repos build against tumbleweed?
by Dave Plater 03 Jun '11

Can packages in 11.4 standard or update repositories build against packages provided in the tumbleweed update repository.? I've filed bnc#696826 about 11.4's lv2core-devel's lv2config being unable to function due to a lack of package python-redland. The LV2 plugin system cannot be used at all if the package can't build against lv2core and slv2, I submitted new packages lv2core, slv2 and an updated redland package that included the python bindings before 11.4's release, lv2core is in the 11.4 distribution but slv2 is still in review, here is it's history : 62079 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-18T16:30:51 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory note: obsoleted by submitreq 62078 From: plater(new) Descr: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 62078 State:review By:coolo When:2011-03-28T16:14:46 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) -> saschpe(review) Descr: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 60049 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-18T16:30:43 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) Descr: Add slv2-0.6.6-licencefix.patch to remove file with conflicting GPLv2 statement in the header. See bnc#669117 and slv upstream drobillad #630 59638 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-04T17:25:01 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) Descr: New package slv2 is a library to make the use of LV2 plugins as simple as possible for applications.slv2 is free software (GPL v2 or later) written in C99 using the Redland RDF toolkit, and is known to work on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X. This package is the other part of the slv2 lv2core needed for openSUSE packages to use the LV2 plugin system and compliments submit request sr#59624 the home url for this package is http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/ apart from the url and licence all of the other relevant information is contained in submit request id 59624 and this is sr#62078 the last request which is still open : Request #62078: submit: multimedia:libs/slv2(r5) -> openSUSE:Factory/slv2 Message: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 State: review 2011-03-28T16:14:46 coolo Comment: run checker Review: new darix None None None Please decide accepted None factory-auto 2011-03-29T16:16:48 coolo Builds for all Factory repos found Output of check script (non-fatal): History: review 2011-03-18T10:39:07 saschpe new 2011-02-18T16:18:50 plater This last request effectively blocks slv from even going into factory. There was a comment made in a reply during one of my many emails pleading for slv2 to be accepted that it was a duplicate of a Packman package and I replied that it's purpose was to enable multimedia applications to build with support for LV2 plugins and openSUSE packages cannot build against Packman packages. I'm busy updating qtractor from 0.7.8 to 0.7.9 the earlier version would have been in 11.4 had slv2 been present and now it seems that version 0.7.9 is also going to be blocked. Reference threads : http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-02/msg00678.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-02/msg00004.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-01/msg00377.html I originally created the lv2core and slv2 packages when a user requested LV2 plugin support for ardour which isn't in the main distribution but he was happy with the result and this verifies that there isn't anything wrong with the package. Maybe I violated an openSUSE rule inadvertently but if nobody explains what it was I may do it again. I'm passionate about openSUSE multimedia and I feel that it presents an important face of openSUSE.

[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng start parameter
by Peter Czanik 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Hello, If I want to add a start parameter permanently to syslog-ng, is this the right place to do it? # cat syslog-ng.sysconfig ## Type: string ## Default: "" ## Config: "" ## ServiceRestart: syslog # # Parameters for Syslog New-Generation - see syslog-ng(8) # SYSLOG_NG_PARAMS="" As in this case, I could simply add: "--module-path /lib/syslog-ng:/usr/lib/syslog-ng" to SYSLOG_NG_PARAMS, which would remove a harmless, but ugly warning message on start.

[opensuse-factory] new openSUSE:* source processing method. PLEASE TEST !
by Adrian Schröter 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Hello, I look for some more people who want to try our hopefully soon to be applied new source processing method for openSUSE:Factory and the maintenance updates to :Update projects. It should work good already, so you do not need to be brave ;) You may know that currently all package source submissions to Factory and friends get SUSE in-house be reviewed, re-validated and reformated. You can see this in the additional "autobuild" commits in the openSUSE:Factory commits. We plan to do following changes in future: * We would like to do these steps out there and as soon as possible in future. This means in best case before any packager is commiting his changes the validating and reformating is done already. This avoids any possible merge problems, unnecessary commits and extra turn around times. * these services can be code stream specific (unlike current osc_source_validator). That means we will be able to do better checks in future for Factory then for maintenance updates (where we need to stay compatible). And we do not need to take care about non-SUSE code streams, eg. Fedora or MeeGo people can still work and submit their changes to their projects or write their own services. * In addition to existing checks, we want to track where upstream sources (tar balls) are comming from. So far we had the download_url source service, which downloaded files and stored them with _service: prefix what not everybody liked. The new and project wide working "download_files" service is just validate the URL's from the spec file. The new osc will commit these files as usual files and the server is just validating this. (People with low upstream bandwidth can still decide to skip the commit, the server will store it with prefix again.) So, if everybody is using this current osc & source service stack, the source services will be used to do these steps, but there will be no _service* file(s) in your package sources. And the last really SUSE in-house part of Factory development would be the legal review db, really everything else would be out there in build.o.o... How to test this ? ================== First of all you need the new services and a new osc installed. Please add the proper openSUSE:Tools project repo and install zypper in obs-service-download_files obs-service-format_spec_file obs-service-source_validator In addition to that please install "osc" from openSUSE:Tools:Unstable project. If you do not like to add the repo, just run osc getbinaries openSUSE:Tools:Unstable osc $YOUR_REPO $YOUR_ARCH and install the osc package manually. To activate this for your entire devel project (it would work also per package) do # osc co $YOUR_DEVEL_PROJECT _project # cd $YOUR_DEVEL_PROJECT/_project # cat > _service <<EOF <services> <service name="format_spec_file" mode="trylocal"/> <service name="download_files" mode="trylocal"/> <service name="source_validator" mode="trylocal"/> </services> EOF # osc addremove # osc ci -m "activate factory default source services" Afterwards these services running on "osc build" and "osc commit" actions, if not disabled via CLI switch. Reformated spec files will be uploaded directly and in case of validation errors, osc will abort before commit/build'ing. What happens to people with old osc version (0.130 and before) or just using the webui after activating these services ? Nothing. The services will run on the server only. => The source state will turn into "broken" if a validation error exists. => if tar ball is missing/different or spec file is different formated they will be visible with _service:* prefix again. How to get rid of them again ? Just anyone with a current osc stack will merge these changes automatically on next commit and the server side generated files will disappear again. If this testing phase works out fine, we will of course make a maintenance update for all these packages, so everybody should have a current stack. I have activated this already for the openSUSE:Tools* projects and everything seems to work. And I found out that 3 out of 3 random packages from openSUSE:Factory contain broken Source: $URL lines ;) Feel free to branch any openSUSE:Tools package into your branch and try to edit it. With the new osc you will use these local services automatically. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Banshee update to 2.0.1
by Nelson Marques 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I've submitted the updated version of Banshee (2.0.1) to Factory today and also banshee-community-extensions (which wasn't a part of Factory). If the community extensions package isn't attractive to factory, then feel free to decline it, though it would be somehow interesting to be available also on Factory. banshee-1 : SR 71891 banshee-community-extensions: SR 71890 NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Recursive login - 12.1 M1
by Steven Sroka 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I just downloaded the Factory KDE LiveCD (which contains 12.1 M1), and I can't log in. I haven't even installed it yet, but when I press enter to login, the screen flashes and I get the login screen again. I also *did* do a seperate install from the NET iso and I get the same issue. I'll check for existing bug reports, but I don't think the coming M1 is testable :( Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Releasing Milestone 1
by Stephan Kulow 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi, Whatever is now in Factory will be Milestone 1 even though the final images are still building. There are quite some ugly bugs in it, but it's testable software and we have a complete set of ISOs. There is quite a lot of difference against 11.4, I tried to produce the diff out of the wiki and I found 819 version updates - including packages with so small names like rpm, perl or gcc, but also with long names like kernel-source and gnome-shell. I hope you can make use out of it, be warned though: it's only a starting point for further development, not perfectly stable. Greetings, Stephan
