[opensuse-packaging] Need help with Tilda package.
by jcsl 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi. I'm trying to update the package Tilda to the latest stable, but the current patches doesn't match with the current code, so I don't know if they still apply. There're four patches currently plus one I've added to fix rpmlint errors (thanks to the Tilda developer). The problematic patches (for me) are two: - https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/GNOME:Apps/tilda/tilda-fix-poi… - https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/GNOME:Apps/tilda/tilda-fix-gdk… The second one comments a line, so I suppose it is the same now even though it's a little different. With the first one I don't have a clue on what to do. It fixes a 64bit portability issue, but I don't know C/GTK, so I can't see if the current code takes care of this or if it is still necessary to patch the file. Could someone help me, please?

[opensuse-packaging] Can I submit a package downgrade request?
by jcsl 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hi. Recently I sent a submit request with an updated version of Parcellite, a clipboard manager for LXDE. This version had some bugs and I updated to the latest svn revision that fixes most of them. But one remains an is very annoying: text selection is broken, you cannot select text in some programs because the selection is cleared immediately. I submitted a bug report upstream but the developer cannot reproduce the problem and so he cannot fix it. We're still in contact but I read that the package freeze will be soon and I don't like the idea of shipping a broken version of the program. So, can I submit the previous version of the program that worked fine?

[opensuse-packaging] Need extra pair of eyes to figure out the failure
by Togan Muftuoglu 12 Aug '14

Hi, As the subject says I need extra pair of eyes to figure out the failure of sbcl packet building for factory. The package can be found in devel:languages:misc sbcl. The package builds for all openSUSE releases except for Factory and it fails in the sb-bsd-socket tests. In my local builds if the build environmet is chroot then the tests pass and the package is build. So it must be something in the kvm implementation of Factory because it fails only in kvm type builds. I can't seem to find where the problem lies hence I need some extra pair of eyes. Thanks Togan -- Life is endless possibilities -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] %{SourceX} not allowed in .spec %files section?
by jcsl 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hi. If I use something like %files A-path/a-file it works fine, but if I use %files A-path/%{source0} I get Error: File not found Is it that %{sourceX} is not allowed in the %file section? Other macros, %{name} for example, work fine. SourceX is defined in the beginning of the file an it is an icon I've uploaded, but it happens the same if it is another kind of file.

[opensuse-packaging] How to do a %post action, like calling yast firewall configuration?
by Pavel Kačer 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi, I want to add a firewall rule for SSH on a package installation. This is currently done in %post section. But on OpenSUSE I get `/sys filesystem is not mounted' error. The package has this build issue but on target host it installs correctly. ========= SNIP ========= %post %if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1110 yast2 firewall services add service=service:sshd zone=EXT %else yast2 firewall services add service=ssh zone=EXT %endif ========= SNIP ========= ========= BUILD LOG SNIP ========= The /sys filesystem is not mounted. If you are running in a chroot environment, bind-mount missing filesystems. ========= BUILD LOG SNIP ========= This is an internal TESTING package so managing firewall is OK even if otherwise it would not be appropriate. Is there way how to do this "correct and clean" way?

[opensuse-packaging] 13.2 freeze
by Stephan Kulow 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi, We don't have an official roadmap for 13.2, but the experimental roadmap I made has a Beta1 release on September 18th. This means by September 15th everything has to be gone through staging projects - and the bigger the changes you plan, the earlier you should submit it (yes, I look at you artwork guys :). For reference this is 13.1 roadmap translated to 13.2, so you have an idea: http://stephan.kulow.org/opensuse_13.2/ There will be many things different this time though - for one we're already having 13.2 staging prjs prepared, so we don't regress between factory and 13.2 Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Requests for Donations In Packages
by Richard Brown 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi all, The openSUSE Board was recently made aware of a case where a package description, spec file and OBS description, contained a request for donation to a given account. We feel very strongly that this violates the spirit of our guiding principals. Therefore we ask all project maintainers to not accept packages that may contain requests for donations into top level devel projects We're making sure the Packaging Guidelines on the wiki get updated to reflect this policy. Hopefully everyone supports this decision, if not I'm happy to discuss things here, alternatively this seems like a good opportunity to remind everyone that the openSUSE Board can be contacted privately at board(a)opensuse.org Thank you for your consideration.
