[opensuse-packaging] Right usage of libexecdir?
by Vincent Untz 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hey, Dominique and I are currently wondering what to do wrt libexecdir for evolution-data-server. Should we leave it unchanged (so files will be in /usr/lib) or should we change it to /usr/lib/evolution-data-server? If the latter, is there any reason this is not done automatically? Also, hrm, would rpmlint have ways to warn about packages that put binaries in libdir instead of libexecdir? (I can find a few of them here with a grep) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] rpmlint-checks: adding new gnome/desktop-related checks
by Vincent Untz 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hi, I've been adding some macros to make life easier when packaging things for GNOME, or desktop applications in general. See [1] for some of those, and I guess I'll send a new mail later for the others -- I just need to figure out where some of them should live. Anyway. The thing is that those macros are all nice, but nobody will think about using them if they don't have rpmlint checks. So I wrote some checks. Can we add this to the rpmlint-checks git repo, and to our rpmlint package? Thanks, Vincent [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-08/msg00059.html -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.

[opensuse-packaging] OpenNebula
by Jaime Melis 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hello, I'm an OpenNebula [1] developer, and we would like to include OpenNebula in mainstream openSUSE. OpenNebula has already been accepted in Debian sid and in Ubuntu. Is there anyone interested in becoming the package maintainer for this project? We already have a working spec file so there's no need to start from scratch. The main challenge I see it that OpenNebula depends on xmlrpc-c libraries which aren't directly available on openSUSE. Nevertheless these packages are provided by the hamradio project [2], in particular packages: xmlrpc-c and libxmlrpc-c-devel.

[opensuse-packaging] changes in virtualbox package
by Michal Šebeň 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hi all, stable virtualbox 4.0.0 will be soon in Factory (I hope:) so here are few announces: if you will do update from Milestone2,3,4, 5 or from Factory you have to remove virtualbox-ose-qt package and install virtualbox-qt by hand (sorry I really don't know how to trigger update in this case for virtualbox-ose-qt without adding auxiliar subpackage) - update from 11.3 to 11.4 will work fine Also I want to announce few (I think major) changes in our virtualbox package(sr#56739,56738): 1, dropped OSE postfix for vbox's main package and all subpackages - since 4.0.0 Oracle team doesn't build PUEL version so ose postfix is not needed - this means : virtualbox-ose will be deleted from Factory and new virtualbox package will appear - devel repo will change from Virtualization:virtualbox-ose to Virtualization:virtualbox 2, renamed xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose subpackage to virtualbox-guest-x11 - this package doesn't contain only x11 drivers but also tools for propper x11 guest integration (same name for this stuff use also debian) 3, update to first 4.0.0 stable release 4,added "Provides: virtualbox-gui" line for virtualbox-qt subpackage and "Recommends: virtualbox-gui" line for virtualbox package (this is related to vboxgtk package - I will also create sr for this package soon ) Also I want to apologize to people who wants to have VBoxGuestAdditions.iso in our virtualbox package, I decide to NOT include it to our package for now (again), I think linux and windows binaries grabbed from outside of buildservice is not standard way how we do packaging in bs - also as I said many times user could still download iso using the gui menu. suggestions, comments, tips are welcome ! bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all!

[opensuse-packaging] wxGTK-devel without gtk-config? (openSUSE:Factory:Contrib/xlogmaster)

[opensuse-packaging] What is wxGTK/wxWidgets all about?
by Dave Plater 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hi, my package home:plater kicad based on Science kicad, which I need for money making work, eshceema gui freezes after my box goes on standby which I suspect without lengthy debugging is due to wxGTK. I see that the openSUSE wxGTK is actually wxPython and not even wxGTK although the url in the spec file points to the wxwidgets site. Kicad is supposed to use wxWidgets but this is only available from packman and causes problems with other packages which build from wxGTK (wxPython). Why are there all of these different types of wx's?

Why does /usr/lib/rpm/map-desktop-category.sh even remove X-* categories not explicitly listed? The freedesktop.org menu spec explicitly permits prefixed extension categories and some applications rely on them. E.g. Xfce uses X-XfceSettingsDialog in order to mark desktop files to be displayed in its settings dialog and %suse_update_desktop_file breaks this. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] jpeg packaging
by Petr Gajdos 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi list, I would like to hear your opinion about future jpeg packaging. I am asked to switch back to jpeg6 in Factory. Nowadays we have following packages in graphics project: * libjpeg6 (contains only library) * libjpeg7 (contains only library) * jpeg (contains doc files and bin tools) -> libjpeg8 (contains library) -> libjpeg-devel (contains *.h and *.so) I should do full-fledged jpeg 6 package as jpeg (8) is and we should have it in parallel if I understend correctly (not sure about jpeg 7 package). I would appreciate any advice, here is a first thought proposal: * jpeg6 (contains doc files and bin tools) provides: jpeg, obsoletes: jpeg, conflicts: jpeg8 -> libjpeg6 (contains library) -> libjpeg6-devel (contains development files) provides: jpeg-devel, obsoletes: jpeg-devel, conflicts: jpeg8-devel * jpeg8 (contains doc files and bin tools) conflicts: jpeg6 -> libjpeg8 (contains library) -> libjpeg8-devel (contains development files) conflicts: jpeg6-devel Requires should stay same modulo major version. Other possibility is to let particular project decide, which jpeg should be default (similarly to libpng12,14 in 11.3). Both libjpeg{6,8}-devel would provide jpeg-devel and conflict with otherproviders(jpeg-devel) and similarly for jpeg{6,8}. Petr

See https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=libSO… Between ... creating baselibs ... saving built packages there should be the build-compare output. It's not specific of my repo. I noticed this because I saw too much updates from KDE:Release:45 (that probably could have build and publish disabled anyway?). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] "Supplements: packageand" documentation?
by Cristian Morales Vega 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

The xine package contains a "Supplements: packageand(libpulse0:libxine1)" line that I think I saw documented somewhere before. But right now Google doesn't helps me... Any idea about where that documentation (packageand(), locale(), etc.) is? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] No rebuild triggered in factory when a lilypond build dependency was updated.
by Dave Plater 10 Dec '10

Hi, I've just finished fixing a lilypond documentation build problem caused by the update of texlive-bin and had a look at factory lilypond, I was surprised to see that it hadn't rebuilt and failed yet. Is this normal? Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Renaming of libvorbis to libvorbis0 problem in multimedia:libs
by Dave Plater 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

A large number of packages in multimedia:libs have been broken due to renaming of libvorbis to subpackage libvorbis0. The package contains libvorbisenc.so.2.0.8, libvorbisfile.so.3.3.4 and libvorbis.so.0.4.5 so IMHO should have either been left alone or split into 3 sub packages. I've tried splitting it but it doesn't solve the problem caused by the rename which is libsndfile now requires both libvorbis0 and libvorbis for 11.3 downwards causing a problem. I'm now going to bed, can somebody help to resolve this mess. I've reverted libvorbis back to current factory which I forwarded when accepting the submit request of this package. My solution is to revert the package back to libvorbis but now this may break factory. In future I'm not going to forward other peoples requests to factory.

[opensuse-packaging] Tumbleweed "vendor" question
by Greg KH 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Ok, I'm going to have a number of questions about packaging stuff and obs while I figure out how Tumbleweed is to properly work. Hopefully this is the correct list for it, if not, please point me in the correct location. Anyway, I have openSUSE:Tumbleweed set up and are trying to figure out both the workflow and how users are going to handle it. I have it populated with only 3 packages at the moment, and it's building against 11.3. I added the repo to zypper, but when trying to do an update on a package that I know is newer, I get the following error from zypper: There is an update candidate for 'git', but it is from a different vendor. Use 'zypper install git-1.7.3.2-43.1.i586' to install this candidate. Now I don't really want to have to have every user do this by hand for each package that gets added to tumbleweed, so how do I get this to be automatically overridden due to the fact that the 'git' package really is newer, and it should be installed. Note, when running 'zypper dup' it says that there is nothing to do, I only get the above message when explicitly asking that git be installed, eventhough git is installed. Anything I can do to the repo to keep this from happening? confused, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, ktorrent had a "Requires: oxygen-icon-theme" which brought up an rpmlint warning about non versioned branding package so I added : "Requires: oxygen-icon-theme = %{_kde_platform_version}" which didn't make the warning go away so I changed it to : "Requires: oxygen-icon-theme-%{_kde_platform_version}" which brought up the warning : ktorrent.x86_64: W: suse-branding-specific-branding-req oxygen-icon-theme-4.5.85 bla What does this mean?

[opensuse-packaging] sysvinit provides
by Stephan Kulow 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hi, I just submitted a new rpm, that will automatically add provides for init scripts, so that if you have an init script in your package that insserv is complaining about, then you can now add PreReq: sysvinit(network) sysvinit(syslog) and then insserv will find the needed modules. I also fixed some packages I'm going to send submit requests for. After that I propose we make the insserv calls FATAL again to avoid regressions. Of course this only affects packages calling insserv in their %post scripts. If you provide an init script without enabling it from the package, you will have to rely on users reporting the problem.

[opensuse-packaging] automatic dependencies for perl modules?
by Christian Boltz 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hello, I just stumbled over CPAN::FindDependencies [1]. IMHO this could be a good addition to cpanspec or the RPM perl macros (maybe %perl_requires?) to automatically add all the module dependencies (like "perl:(Foo:Bar)") of a perl module. At the moment it seems I have to add the dependencies manually. However, my perl knownledge is limited and I therefore can't tell if or how good this would work. What do the perl experts think? BTW: If I get the description of CPAN:FindDependencies right, it can check the requirements recursively. The RPMs should of course only include direct requires (maxdepth 1). Regards, Christian Boltz [1] http://search.cpan.org/~dcantrell/CPAN-FindDependencies-2.34/ or http://search.cpan.org/~dcantrell/CPAN- FindDependencies-2.34/lib/CPAN/FindDependencies.pm -- > ...womit die Geschichte wieder von vorn losgeht... Jaha, aber nun ist das eine vollkommen andere Situation: Jetzt hast Du nämlich eine von Suse generierte kdmrc für ein von Suse geliefertes KDE, und KDE ist eine vom Installationssupport abgedeckte Komponente. Also ist das ein meldefähiger und supportberechtigter Bug! :-) [> Gerald Martin und Kristian Köhntopp in suse-linux] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] openSUSE Invis Server
by Klaas Freitag 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi, some of you might have realised in [1] that there formed a (still) little team of people that works to make the connection between the Invis Server [2] and openSUSE more tight and finally release an openSUSE Invis Server as an openSUSE derivate with own isos etc. The Invis Server is an already existing solution, running in productive environments in the world on top of openSUSE. The core developer, Stefan Schäfer, is part and initiator of the openSUSE Invis Team. Our current plan is to first identify the packages that are needed for Invis Server and push them to Factory as they fit. For others, we'd like to create a repo in OBS to maintain these there. I have two concrete calls for help: 1. Mighty people of the server project in the OBS, please create a subproject server server:Invis where we can put packages. I guess thats the right place? 2. we would appreciate help, especially of packagers. If you are interested to make openSUSE Invis Server happen, please join the opensuse-invis(a)opensuse.org mailinglist. thanks, Klaas [1] http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/28/a-new-flavor-opensuse-invis-server/ [2] http://www.invis-server.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
