[opensuse-packaging] %desktop_database_post and Desktop Entry Specification
by Cristian Morales Vega 15 May '12

15 May '12

In version 0.9.6 of the Desktop Entry Specification any reference to update-desktop-database and mimeinfo.cache disappeared. We are now in version 1.0 and the main page says "Both KDE and GNOME implement version 1.0 of the specification". Since I don't see any changelog or dates... Can we stop using this macro? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello. %{rb_sitearch} and %{rb_sitelib} don't work in Factory. %{rb_sitearchdir} and %{rb_sitelibdir} don't work in older distros. Is there a solution of the problem? -- WBR Kyrill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] perl(Test::More) - advice please
by Greg Freemyer 14 May '12

14 May '12

All, I have a package I maintain (log2timeline) where upstream is starting to incorporate tests from perl(Test::More). Looking at OBS, our main instance of that package is just an aggregate package composed of perl(Test::Simple). I already asked upstream and they are going to be using features not in perl(Test::Simple). My first thought was to simply package perl(Test::More), but looking closer at OBS, I see there are a number of apparent sub-packages already in OBS: perl-Test-More-Behaviours (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) perl-Test-More-Strict (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) perl-Test-More-UTF8 (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) perl-Test-More-Fork (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) perl-Test-More-Prefix (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) perl-Test-More-Behaviour (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) perl-Test-More-Diagnostic (project devel:languages:perl:CPAN-T) Can someone advise me if the above are relevant to perl(Test::More) per se, or if they are just similarly named packages. Obviously, I don't understand the perl naming conventions.

[opensuse-packaging] Solution for compiling kernel modules for openSUSE:Tumbleweed (and Kernel:stable)
by Paolo Pantò 11 May '12

11 May '12

Originally posted in http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/tumbleweed/47452… Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post. The "problem" concerns various scopes - Tumbleweed - Kernel(:stable) - Open Build Service (OBS) Currently it is not possible to compile kernel modules for openSUSE:Tumbleweed (and Kernel:stable) for the i586 arch on OBS. Have a look eg. at - https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=multimedia%3Aaudio%3AKMP - https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Virtualization%3AVirtualBox… For now the entry for i586 reads "unresolvable": nothing provides kernel-desktop-devel = 3.3.2-20 needed by kernel-syms, nothing provides kernel-pae-devel = 3.3.2-20 needed by kernel-syms, nothing provides kernel-xen-devel = 3.3.2-20 needed by kernel-syms The reason is that the project configs for openSUSE:11.4/standard, on which Kernel:stable depends, and openSUSE:12.1/standard, on which openSUSE:Tumbleweed depends, includes the line ExportFilter: \.i686\.rpm$ i686 New kernels are built with "BuildArch: i686" on %ix86, the ExportFilter config makes it impossible for other packages to find the proper devel-packages - kernel-default is still build for i586. I've created a sample environment on OBS with - https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amunix9%3AKernel%3A11… - https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amunix9%3AKernel%3ATu… This projects aggregates the problematic packages and contains the project config line ExportFilter: \.i686\.rpm$ i586 Now kernel modules are built fine, eg. for virtualbox https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=home%3Amunix9%3AVirtuali… On openSUSE:Factory (on which eg. Kernel:HEAD depends) it works already fine, because the appropriate line "ExportFilter: \.i686\.rpm$ i686" is missing. If I'm right, then a global solution would make sense, to allow also other projects to build proper kernel modules.

[opensuse-packaging] Please register the desktop menu subcategory: Publishing
by Atri 11 May '12

11 May '12

The desktop menu subcategory Publishing is not recognised by openSUSE's menu specification [1] although it is clearly a subcategory of Office or Graphics according to the freedesktop standards [2]. Using the Publishing subcategory in conjunction with either Office or Graphics as the main category leads to errors during build checks complaining of insufficient category description. I request that the Publishing subcategory may be registered as a valid desktop menu subcategory of the main category "Office" in the openSUSE menu standards. This will benefit many applications including latex GUI frontends like texmaker, kile, texworks, etc which are now registered as WordProcessors as well as desktop publishing applications like Scribus which simply cannot be registered as anything else other than a Publishing application (at present it is registered as a WordProcessor too, when it is anything but). Thanks and bye. -- Atri [1] en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_desktop_menu_categories [2] http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/1.0/apa.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Ruby updated to 1.9.3
by Stephan Kulow 11 May '12

11 May '12

Hi, It has been discussed in lengths on opensuse-ruby, but as it creates problems to other packages as well, I better announce it here too: We updated ruby to 1.9.3, so quite some bindings break now - especially if they hard coded stuff or rely on ruby internals. Ruby 1.9 is not that much different, but it's internals _do_ differ. Plus they removed quite some stuff that is long deprecated and noone cared :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

Under normal circumstances we are trying to update this repository on a weekly basis with a new snapshot. However with the release of the Beta we could postpone the creation of a newer snapshot.
