[opensuse-packaging] libcdio-mini will be deleted next week and libcdio major abi change
by Dave Plater 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Libcdio seems to no longer need it's boot strap package libcdio-mini so I've removed it from multimedia:libs and once the vcdimager test suite issue has been sorted this change and the major abi changes of the libcdio libraries will make their way to factory next week sometime. Most packages that play CDs may be affected and also packages that access the` cddb. BTW my list emails are coming in now.

[opensuse-packaging] Warning, I've changed libcdio into a single build package, about to submit to multimedia:libs
by Dave Plater 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

I thought I might give advance warning that I've updated and removed the need for libcdio-mini in the libcdio package and am about to submit it to multimedia:libs. I'm also submitting a vcdimager with the test suite disabled as it fails with the updated libcdio but I need it in multimedia:libs to confirm that there isn't a dependency loop any more. I've already tested this in my home project so it shouldn't cause any havoc except maybe packages that use vcdimager's libvcdinfo0. I no longer have the email address that I receive list mail on and am attempting to subscribe with my new list email but the first attempt failed so please cc my davejplater(a)gmail.com (a nomail account) with any replies.

[opensuse-packaging] [R. Info] Cinnamon
by Nelson Marques 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

GNOME:Cinnamon currently provides cinnamon 1.4.0 and muffin 1.0.2. With GNOME 3.4 going to factory the current upstream base code needs adjustments and it's still unclear to me how upstream is going to fix a few pending issues. My belief is that there should be a 1.4 kinda of 'branch' to keep some maintenance updates for 12.1 / Tumbleweed and some sort of 'trunk' to keep going and fix the Factory Builds. One good example would probably be to keep a G:Cinnamon:Factory for active development and devel for Factory and a general G:Cinnamon to store builds. Now this raises a few questions: 1) Create a new sub-structure inside G:Cinnamon like on G:STABLE:MAJOR ? 2) disable builds for a given platform and keep going ? 3) Any other ? Please leave suggestions even from the 'end user' point to view... consider simplification, avoiding doubled tasks in maintenance, etc etc. NM -- Nelson Marques // I've stopped trying to understand sandwiches with a third piece of bread in the middle... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Best way to fix user filtering in accountsservice?
by Vincent Untz 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi, accountsservice is the service used in GNOME to get info about accounts on the system. The latest release change the way user filtering works. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44408 Quick summary: - before 0.16.6: we were filtering out users based on UID (do not show users if uid < UID_MIN, where UID_MIN icomes from /etc/login.defs) - now: we're filtering out users based on the shell (nologin & false are hidden) On top of that, we have a blacklist of users to never show. That sounds reasonable except that now I see users in gdm, while they should be filtered out. Those are: ftp:x:40:49:FTP account:/srv/ftp:/bin/bash games:x:12:100:Games account:/var/games:/bin/bash man:x:13:62:Manual pages viewer:/var/cache/man:/bin/bash suse-ncc:x:106:108:Novell Customer Center User:/var/lib/YaST2/suse-ncc-fakehome:/bin/bash beagleindex:x:108:111:User for Beagle indexing:/var/cache/beagle:/bin/bash I guess ftp, games and man are provided by some base package. Is there any reason those are using bash as shell instead of nologin? Can we fix this? Or should we just blacklist them? It's harder for suse-ncc and beagleindex as, as far as I know, those are purely historical users from older versions of openSUSE that are still there after upgrading. So I wonder what the right fix is: should we just blacklist them, or would it be acceptable to change their shell in %post of accountsservice? That last solution sounds wrong to me, but it also might fix other issues in the long term...
