[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] blog post series started for rpmlint and brp warnings / errors
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi everybody, We know them all and some of us get frustrated by them: lints and brp checks aborting our builds, even though make and make install perfectly passed through (well, one correction here already: APPARENTLY perfectly passed). I do not argue against the checks at all and I think they are a good thing (tm). But sometimes they can be a little bit cryptic and most of the time require work. so I started a series of blog posts (2 so far) which try to address them. Please bare with me, I'm no hard core crack coder, but I will try to summarize the usual causes and solutions to a problem. Not in every case will the provided solution fit and if you're not sure about correctness in your package: discuss the matter with upstream. Anyway, once you produce a patch, you should always make sure upstream gets it too. So what were the blog posts about so far? Part 1: how to fix brp and rpmlint warnings ? today: Expression compares a char* pointer with a string literal http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=151 Part 2: how to fix brp and rpmlint warnings ? today: I: Program causes undefined operation (likely same variable used twice and post/pre incremented in the same expression) http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=178 As noted on the first entry, i will gladly take recommendations for which errors you would like to see an entry. I will try to write them up, likely 1 or 2 per week (I am actually not that much of a writer... 0 Hope the series is useful to you... If it saves you a few minutes here and there, then it is.

[opensuse-packaging] dropping licenses
by Stephan Kulow 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, The licenses package is 300KB on the live cd and the only files linked into are gpl licenses - in addition it's very unclear if links to licenses are really ok. So I submitted a fix for all packages in factory I could find using licenses - for some I had to include a license. The licenses package will soon disappear, so please review and forward the requests.

[opensuse-packaging] Buildservice problem?

Hi! I have a question. I want to a package which heavily uses icons from another one. But the OBS system does not allow to built it: it says "icon file not installed" even though the dependency on a package that contains the necessary icon is included.

[opensuse-packaging] Python 3.2 build problems
by Dave Plater 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I'm busy fighting with the python3-base-3.2 build, which seems to be unpredictable atm, due to blender (against the protests of distro packagers) switching to that version. The 11.4 x86_64 build fails in devel:languages:python:Factory but all the others succeed, I've had varying build results by linking home:plater:blender python3-base to home:plater:blender python3 and devel:languages:python:Factory python3, when linked to devel:languages:python:Factory python3 it mimics the devel build but when linked to home:plater:blender python3 I've had complete build failures and all x86_64 failures with i586 successes with a fresh untouched branched python3 after only adding a fedora conditional for BuildRequires first. I understand that the build service servers aren't 100% in fact the connection was down again a few moments ago and up again now, I don't know if this has any effect that can cause such build behaviour? It also builds differently on my local x86_64 11.4 system using rpmbuild. As it stands now, I've added a few build requirements which seemed to be missing and have experienced an i586 failure due to -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer being incompatible and redefining $RPM_OPT_FLAGS omitting -fomit-frame-pointer (without diving into gcc) can this cause problems? It looks like I've a successful build atm but only after changing a few build options. Here is the diff with comments: %build # use rpm_opt_flags +# Redefine opt flags due to error: -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible +export RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g" export OPT="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" #export OPT="-O0 -g" @@ -201,10 +210,12 @@ --docdir=%{_docdir}/python \ --enable-ipv6 \ --with-fpectl \ - --enable-shared + --enable-shared \ + --with-cxx-main=%{_bindir}/c++ configure started asking for a c++ compiler LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \ - make %{?_smp_mflags} profile-opt + make %{?_smp_mflags} This is the change that had the most effect on the build succeeding. +# profile-opt %check # test_file fails in autobuild env - "stdin.seek(-1)" wrongly succeeds. probably an issue with autobuild's stdin @@ -244,10 +255,10 @@ # cleanup parts that don't belong for so in _md5 _sha1 _sha256 _sha512; do - rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/lib-dynload/$so.* + rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/lib-dynload/$so.* _md5 and _sha1 don't exist, I haven't checked the others but when I see things missing that existed before I get worried. done for dir in curses dbm sqlite3 tkinter; do - rm -r $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/$dir + rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/$dir done # install site-specific tweaks @@ -277,7 +288,7 @@ # move idle config into /etc install -d -m 755 ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/idle3 -( +( cd ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{sitedir}/idlelib/ for file in *.def ; do mv $file ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/idle3/ I use kwrite for spec files and it saves in UTF8 also removes trailing white spaces.

[opensuse-packaging] Zypper solutions for conflicts in OBS-generated package
by Sandro Andrade 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi there, I'm building a new branding package for kdebase4-workspace. Apparently I managed to get it built but when I ask zypper to install it I got a (obviously expected) conflict with kdebase4-workspace-branding-(openSUSE|upstream). The insteresting thing is zypper only provides one solution for the conflict: Solution 1: do not install kdebase4-workspace-branding-IFBa-1.1-4.1.x86_64 Instead of both "do not install branding-IFBa" and "deinstallation of kdebase4-workspace-branding-*" spec file: http://pastebin.com/pV9ngFYT build log: http://pastebin.com/b5uQ8kEf I've built a copy of kdebase4-openSUSE in my home OBS repository and the generated package is installed as expected (zypper presents both solutions) Any hint ?

[opensuse-packaging] Coping with the recent Boost update
by Philipp Thomas 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Boost 1.46.0 was checked into factory not long ago (and will get an update to 1.46.1 in the next days). The main change that wasn't mentioned in the changes and thus escaped me was that beginning with 1.46.0 boost::filesystem will switch its default API from v2 to v3 (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm). This will cause packages that use boost::filesystem and that don't support v3 to fail. There are three possible ways to fix the breakage: 1) Adapt the code to work with v3 2) Adapt the code to work with v2 or v3 3) Let the code use the v2 API. The last one is the easiest but the v2 API will go with 1.48. The changes in the API are described in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/deprecated.html.

[opensuse-packaging] Icon themes and branding packages...
by Nelson Marques 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Dear all, I'm currently packaging the latest version (0.9) of the Faenza icon theme for GNOME, one of the nicest in my opinion, though a bit squarish. The main goal is to provide this icon theme for GNOME:Ayatana project since it features all the required icons for the new functions in the Ubuntu/Ayatana indicators (specially on monochrome icons). For those wondering, yes, this is one of the few 3rd party icon themes that provides nearly all icons for a default openSUSE GNOME installation (except for YaST). This icon theme provides icons for many distributions (Fedora, Mandriva, Frugalware, Debian, openSUSE, Ubuntu, GNOME, etc). I'm currently deleting all of those icons except for openSUSE and GNOME and would like to make two branding packages (one for GNOME/upstream, and another for openSUSE). Anyone could point me some online documentation or icon themes example packages where I can see a bit more about this 'branding packages' ?

[opensuse-packaging] Packaging wicd for 11.4, dbus security issue
by R. Tyler Croy 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Wicd has some issues on 11.4 due to the upgrade to Python 2.7, and as such I'm trying to package up the latest tip of their bazaar tree on Launchpad. wicd.x86_64: E: suse-dbus-unauthorized-service (Badness: 10000) /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf The package installs a DBUS system service file. If the package is intended for inclusion in any SUSE product please open a bug report to request review of the service by the security team. What confuses me about this is that wicd was already packaged at one point for 11.3, so I don't understand why I'm getting this badness now. Aside from that, I can open a bug report with the SUSE security team, but is there anything I can do on `osc build` to side-step that check and get a testable package in a repo on build.opensuse.org? - R.

[opensuse-packaging] gcc 4.6 ante portas
by Stephan Kulow 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi, I bet most of you follow the gcc news as first thing in the morning, but for those that don't: gcc 4.6 is in release mode, so it won't be long before it's released. A prerelease is already in factory as gcc46, but won't be default before our packages are ready to support it. To prepare for this, Dr.Richard and me prepared a project with the currently failing packages. Short version: http://is.gd/wJxCY7 Long version: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?commit=Filter%3A&failed=1&pkgnam… This project's purpose is mainly to give a count down for the readyness of factory for gcc 4.6. If you want to fix a package for gcc46, you can branch normally and then do osc build --alternative-project=openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc46 It would be great if some volunteer, because for most packages it's the same set of problem. The biggest one right now is that cstdlib is no longer included by default, so you need to change e.g. size_t to std::size_t - or add <cstdlib> Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi: Brave testers, will be cool if you can install an experimental/development version of zlib, that uses SSE/MMX/SSSE3 to improve the performance of the library from 2 to 6 times, depending what features your CPU support. (determined at runtime) If you want to contribute, add the following repository to zypper http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/elvigia:/zlib/openSUSE_11.4 and dup from it. (if 404, it hasnt published yet) It works just fine in two x86_64 machines I have used, but Im interested in getting feedback from 32 bit users,specially those running less than current CPUs. Finally please note that zlib is used by almost everything,either directly or indirectly and if something goes wrong your system will likely become unusable.

[opensuse-packaging] Running mkinitrd in %unpost and %post
by Javier Llorente 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hello list-mates, Currently, if you uninstall bootsplash from your system, you'd see the boosplash image when you boot up/shutdown your computer. Is it a good idea to run mkinitrd in %postun so that you get no bootsplash image after uninstalling it? I think it makes sense. %postun %{insserv_cleanup} /sbin/mkinitrd_setup +if test -s /etc/sysconfig/bootloader ; then +/sbin/mkinitrd +fi Furthermore, some people have reported that they get no bootsplash after a KDE install from the 11.4 Net ISO. Besides this, I have added support for more resolutions. So, I was also thinking about running mkinitrd in % post to make sure they get a bootsplash image %post %{fillup_only -ns bootsplash branding-openSUSE } perl -pi -e 's/^(THEME=).*/$1"openSUSE"/' /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash +if test -s /etc/sysconfig/bootloader ; then +/sbin/mkinitrd +fi What I don't want is users suffering due to lots of mkinitrds. How probable would having updates/installs that run mknitrd several times be? Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

I've currently got a package all set up here: <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=dvtm&project=home%3Aagentde…> I'm wondering what I can do to get this package included in a more mainstream repository, and which repository it would make sense to go in to? - R.

[opensuse-packaging] RPM 4.9.0
by Cristian Morales Vega 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Now that 11.4 has been released, when Factory will start to use RPM 4.9.0? And... what that means to packagers? * "Dependency generators are now pluggable. Arbitrary number of dependency types is supported, new types can be added through a drop-in directory and file classification is now done with a combination of path and libmagic-type include/exclude regular expressions (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)" How they exactly work? Something should be changed about %wx_requires? * "EXPERIMENTAL support for package "collections" which are sort of like named triggers that only run once within a transaction. This can be used for example to avoid redundant calls for cache updates etc. (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)" Experimental? Should we use this instead of multiple calls to gtk-update-icon-cache? It's expected that openSUSE 11.4 + 1 will use a newer RPM where collections are no longer experimental? * "Short-circuiting binary builds is now allowed by rpmbuild for developer convenience while testing. Short-circuited packages are tainted with an unsatisfiable dependency to limit their use for the intended testing-only purpose." How? Is this possible through "osc build"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] H4 Packaging - Horde 4 Alpha1 out
by Ralf Lang 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Last night I did a test drive of Horde 4 Alpha 1 from pear.horde.org The stuff basically works but unlike the framework components, the apps are not yet fit for packaging. The framework has been split into like 30 pear packages. I will begin packaging them first (and apps only later when they're stable enough). Any help/cooperation welcome, double work to be avoided. I want to develop this in a separate home project and push the thing to server:php:applications in a whole bunch once I am confident it works as desired.

[opensuse-packaging] Reproducible .tar.gz compression?
by Cristian Morales Vega 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

I have a package that "tar czf"s a directory in the build process. This breaks build-compare since every compression generates a different file. A "tar cjf" (bz2) doesn't suffer from the same problem... Any idea? Can "tar czf" produce reproducible results?

[opensuse-packaging] Are there any IDEs that know how to package?
by Paul Elliott 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Are there any IDEs that know how to set up the g++/gcc autoconf automake libtool tool chain and also know how to create a debian source package and a rpm spec file? It seems to me that if an IDE only knows how to create the executable, it would not be of very much use to FS developers, because they will eventually have to do the above by hand if the ide does not do it for them. I think that some of the guidelines would require hand tweaking and experience with the software. But I think an IDE should be able to provide a first cut that removes the syntax errors. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
