[opensuse-packaging] How do I fix the dirac naming conflict with packman packages
Hi, the openSUSE package dirac consists of the following :- dirac which contains tools and README AUTHORS and the usual text docs libdirac_decoder0 decoder libs libdirac_encoder0 encoder libs dirac-devel which contains devel files and api documentation The Packman package dirac consists of the following :- dirac Contents identical to openSUSE libdirac_decoder0 Contents identical to openSUSE libdirac_encoder0 Contents identical to openSUSE libdirac-devel which contains only devel files. dirac-doc which contains api documentation As you can see packman have split dirac-devel into libdirac-devel and dirac-doc. What is the correct way to handle this conflict? The way it stands atm the installation system allows dirac-devel, libdirac-devel and dirac-doc to exist in the system. When following openSUSE packaging conventions for merging two packages into one I get an rpmlint error about self-obsoletion.

Confer with the packman maintainer? The split done sounds sensible.

The obsoletes needs to be of "oldpackage <= lastversionofitsuse". Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

So in your opinion the packman package layout is better and I should split out the api docs to a separate package?

The packman package version is the same as the openSUSE version and will most probably continue to be so or higher. While the packaging conventions method solves the problem of merging the two packman packages into dirac-devel it still produces the rpmlint error. Splitting and renaming the opensuse package would solve this problem.

It passes rpmlint if I use:- Provides: libdirac-devel = %{version}-%{release} dirac-doc = %{version}-%{release} Obsoletes: libdirac-devel < %{version}-%{release} dirac-doc < %{version}-%{release} but I can remember being advised not to use %{release}.

You want to keep libdirac-devel, and obsolete dirac-devel, right? In that case probably: Provides: dirac-devel Obsoletes: dirac-devel < %{version}-%{release} dirac-doc is new and you don't need to handle it.

Either way is fine I guess. Let's ask the Packman maintainer (Tony Graffy AFAICS, CC'd) why the package is the way it is on Packman. There should be a way to merge both versions into one canonical version in Factory again. 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

I've split off the docs in dirac-doc which is the same name as the packman package, libdirac-devel is a more apt name than dirac-devel and now the two devel packages contain the same files. I've used provides and obsoletes to prevent the two packages from being installed simultaneously and have submitted to factory. It's a pity that the package wasn't named the same as the already existing packman package when it was created. I had a similar problem with opensuse ladspa, which contains most plugins in one package, and packman individual ladspa plugins but I don't see them in packman factory so maybe some have been dropped. There were one or two which don't exist in opensuse. I haven't that much packaging experience so I'm very much open to guidance from more experienced packagers.

Renaming of the package can still be done. Best would be to wait until 11.3 got it's own branch and factory is open for changes such as these. I'm also waiting for that moment to rename gettext back, now that a spec is free to produce no rpm that has the name of the spec. That way I can get back to a gettext.spec creating gettext-runtime and gettext-tools.
