[opensuse] package recommendations/requests?
Hi All, What is the preferred method for submitting a new package recommendation to the openSUSE project? While researching gui database frontends I located 'glom' and it looks extremely promising. There are currently packages available for Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo and Mandriva. Here's the info: http://www.glom.org/ Required libraries: Bakery 2.4 (requires libxml++, gtkmm, libglademm, gconfmm, and gnome-vfsmm) libgdamm 2 (using libgda with support for PostgreSQL) Python >=2.2 PyGtk PyGda (from gnome-python-extras) GtkSourceView iso-codes TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There's that, and then there's pgadmin3 which was requested some time ago (I'd actually built a 1.6.3 package, but smarter souls have built an 1.8 package). I'd be curious - along the same line of questioning here - to know what the procedure is for getting something in the main distribution. That or,for example, a more popular community repo.

Thanks, Josef, I see someone's already added glom to the wishlist. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sometimes, and only sometimes, it's not too hard to create your own rpm. If you can find the src rpm file, it's not too hard to edit the spec file and make the package yourself. Install the src rpm: rpm -ivh glom-x.x.src.rpm Then edit /usr/src/packages/SPECS/glom.spec Try to build it: rpmbuild -bb glom.spec Common issues will be that you need to install more *-devel packages for compiling purposes as well as changing the names of the dependencies listed in the spec file to the names of the corresponding suse rpm package names. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFHMjCTNTm8fWdRgmIRAmZpAKC1K1H/kwGkRC0T+0Ubp0NU/4FU1gCfeNzQ mPnwXY1bnSJBECvZEsyLcQs= =qaIN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the encouragement, Andy! ;-) My success rate in the past for locally compiling then building and installing (via checkinstall) 'custom' packages for SuSE/openSUSE is probably about 40% to 50%. In this case, however, I have installed 10.2 very differently than previous releases. Instead of installing everything displaying an empty checkbox next to it, I tried to only install the software that I actually use on a regular basis... in part, I suppose, to conserve a little disk space and combat 'bloat'. So, I don't have the compiler or related packages and libraries installed. And I'm really loathe to go down that road for just one package. I *was* toying with the idea of checking out the factory build service but I'm more of a 'play' programmer than a 'real' one and am finding that prospect pretty intimidating. Thanks again and regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I now use a similar philosophy with my Linux installations. Although I've found myself in dependency hell too many times in the past not to try and set myself up for success as far as that goes. ;) - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFHMm7pNTm8fWdRgmIRAsBLAKCg7vpo66F5IWpAmkk5s/PeOliRNgCeOfXX w46ssOEvZ5oaxPhsez7XpK8= =c+KD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
