The osc build command has the options: --without=X disable feature X for build --with=X enable feature X for build ...can it be specified in package metadata or something? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] fillup --maintain ?
by Susanne Oberhauser 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hi, in openSUSE:Tools in package obs-server, I do a %fillup_and_insserv. With this, a later package update will override user settings in the sysconfig file. Now I see two options: [ ] drop the sysconfig template and instead package a plain %config(noreplace) [ ] somehow (how so) pass --maintain to fillup [ ] something completely different... any pointers appreciated S. -- Susanne Oberhauser +49-911-74053-574 SUSE -- a Novell Business OPS Engineering Maxfeldstraße 5 Processes and Infrastructure Nürnberg SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] libffmpeg-api
by Cristian Morales Vega 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Project home:jnweiger has a libffmpeg-api that is supposed to allow linking against ffmpeg without having a real copy of it, so avoiding patent problems. But it doesn't works and doesn't seems mantained anymore. The package right now transform the Packman package to obtain a new package with all the headers and bogus libraries (from gcc -o empty.so --shared empty.c). So packages depending of it compile but fail at link. So, what else it needs? I don't know too much about the linker and ELF internals, I could use some help. An "objcopy -R .text <lib>" to libavcodec, libavdevice, etc. should remove all the codec code from them and from that point should not be problems in including it in the OBS, I'm wrong? Perhaps only libavcodec/format need it? I don't know if libavdevice has any codec/patented code. At this point it still doesn't works. First, a "nm -D" shows that doing this some symbols change from 'D' (initialized data section) to 'B' (BSS). Ok, makes sense... but that would mean a problem? I can't think of any. Something more confusing is a symbol (mm_flags from libavcodec) changing from 'B' to 'N' (debugging symbol)... I don't really understand why, but neither I know the effects. And then there is the problem of undefined symbols. libav* also depends of other libraries with codec code (libavcodec -> libx264). Best solution? a) 'objcopy -R .text' all the deps of ffmpeg. Simple, but "lot" of work. b) If I'm not wrong at link time the linker doesn't really needs them, or at least I don't know why it needs them. The final binary will be the same, true? So, there is some way to stop the linker from asking for it? Something like "--allow-shlib-undefined" that could be put in the .pc files? c) Something completly different. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] apache2-mod_perl
by Oliver Block 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello everybody, today I reported a bug for mod_perl2, because it hangs when you try to do a rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/apache2-mod_perl.spec I was also facing this problem with Version 10.3 some time ago. So I think this problem does exists for quite some time. Did anybody of you solve this issue yet?

[opensuse-packaging] strange gcc relocation error
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hi, I'm running into the following issue: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: ../../staticlib/components/libgklayout.a(nsLayoutModule.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `NS_NewCanvasRenderingContext2D(nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D**)' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value As you can see that is gcc 4.2 actually from openSUSE 10.3. I'm working on packaging Firefox 3.1/3.5 in the buildservice (mozilla:beta) and actually it's _only_ failing on 10.3-x86_64 with that error and I've verified that nsLayoutModule.cpp is compiled using -fPIC. Is there really something wrong with the code/compile or is it a gcc bug?

[opensuse-packaging] home:RedDwarf:fakePackman
by Cristian Morales Vega 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

After everything from http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-03/msg00107.html I have created a project home:RedDwarf:fakePackman with a false libffmpeg (and its false dependencies) that should allow you to build in the OBS packages that link against ffmpeg libraries and then run them with real Packman packages. The packman2obs.sh script (based on devel2api.pl but wrote in a language I know: bash) used to create them is included in every package. In home:RedDwarf:multimedia there is an aegisub package that I verified is bit identical to a package built with the real Packman packages in everything but the .note.gnu.build-id and .gnu_debuglink sections... and two/three bytes from .rodata. These two/three byte seem to be different with each build, so... I will appreciate any tech or legal comment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] rpmlint: Program causes undefined operation
by Matthias Fehring 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hello list, rpmlint complains about the following error: I: Program causes undefined operation (likely same variable used twiceand post/pre incremented in the same expression). e.g. x = x++; Split it in two operations. E: pdfedit sequence-point ../engine/qsnumber_object.cpp:85 Log: http://tinyurl.com/pdfeditlog Package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=pdfedit&project=KDE:Communi… The complained code line: double n = args.isEmpty() ? n = 0.0 : args[0].toNumber(); Full code block: QSObject QSNumberClass::construct( const QSList &args ) const { double n = args.isEmpty() ? n = 0.0 : args[0].toNumber(); return createNumber( n ); } The file qsnumber_object.cpp is part of the Qt Script for Applications framework (QSA) version 1.1. I have looked in newer versions of the QSA source code, but this code line is not changed. I have searched the internet for that and after that, this code line seems to be correct for me, but I am not a programmer... ;-) So, how can I fix this rpmlint error?

[opensuse-packaging] Is there a way to find out the status of a to-be-released update package
by Andreas Vetter 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Apologies, if this is not the right list. Which one is it? Assume you have a bug in bugzilla. The bug is in status resolved fixed, the update "has been added to maintenance queue now" and SWAMP says: Update released for: <package>, <package>-debug, <package>-devel Products: openSUSE 11.1 (debug, i586, ppc, x86_64) Is there a documentation for the workflow an update has to go through? And is there a way to find out where the update currently is in the workflow? Or: How long will it take approx. from the SWAMP message above till the update appears in the update-repo? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
