Hi,

see home:seife:testing/kvm-latest

I want to build different versions of kvm, all installed into prefix /opt/kvm-%version/, but buildservice does not let me do that. I am not interested in FHS, I just want to install more than one KVM version to be able to use the one that works for the specific job.

How can I override this <censored> check?

add a rpmlintrc file to your project: setBadness('<message text here>',0)

I'll try that, but check the build log: it does not complain about badness, I fear this is an error outside of the badness scale :-(

and if you want to supress also the resuting warning: addFilter("

for addFilter you can also use a regex to match the files

Thanks for the hints, I'll try them both. Have fun, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?" "Well, surrounding them's out." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

The interesting thing is: this string ("is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2.") is not present in the rpmlint-mini or rpmlint-Factory package, nor in the osc or build package (they only have a check for FHS 2.3). So I'm wondering where this comes from?

It's post-build-checks which reminds me that I forgot to actually remove the check after it got ported to rpmlint ...

I'm a 3rd party, I'm not a distribution, so why does the buildservice prevent me from building a package like I want it to?

Unfortunately there's currently no good and generic way to discriminate between a distribution package (or ones that intend to be become one) and a 3rd party add-on package. Using the rpmlintrc to hide errors is only a cludge. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Hope it helps.

Yes, it did. I did not know about "BuildRequires: -foo" ;-) I was almost ready to build my own post-build-checks package, but this is much easier. Thanks, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

Stefan, you may also want to reopen BNC#436992 'rpmlint/checks: "/opt/<foo>" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2.', this was closed fixed almost a year ago. http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint#Disarming_Fatal_Errors says: Some checks, such as security checks have such a high badness score that a single occurence already fails the build. Packages that are not intended for inclusion in openSUSE may want to turn such fatal errors into warnings. To do that create an rpmlintrc file as described in the previous section but with different content. To build a package that includes an unauthorized permissions file for example add the following line: setBadness('permissions-unauthorized-file', 0) Sounds like this also describes a solution to your case. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "You are trying to use packages from project 'openSUSE:11.2'.

Actually, the title of this bug is alredy wrong wrt. this issue, that's also why it took me so long to find the real problem:

This is not rpmlint!

It is post-build-checks.

Thanks for confirming. I believe that most part-time packagers would use the terms rpmlint and post-build-checks synonymously; the title of BNC#436992 also shows this miscoception. I've added a hint to the intro of /en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint that there is more than only rpmlint that can triggers errors. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "You are trying to use packages from project 'openSUSE:11.2'.

Thanks. I wanted to do that, too (really! ;), because I did spend quite some time to find this out (and I consider myself to be pretty experienced wrt. packaging ;), but got distracted with work and postponed it to "later".

Btw, I think Ludwig has moved the check from post-build-checks to rpmlint now, not sure though. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

What I want to do. Successfully build a .rpm based on paching the 2.6.33 kernel with the reiser4-for-2.6.33.patch.gz patch applied to it, and produce a .rpm as a result. - It wowld need to do the following bits like - zcat ../reiser4-xxxxxx.gz | patch -p1 - make oldconfig - make menuconfig - enable R4 and confgure what you wish - make the rpms what is wanted, a .spec file to do the above steps.
