Do you know about the cause by which the zypper-etckeeper.py does not operate ? (was: [opensuse-factory] Request for package the "etckeeper", please put the "etckeeper" into Factory's official repository .)

17 Jun 2014

Hi Catalin, Joey, and all .

I am going to put the etckeeper into the official repository
of openSUSE .

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2014-06/msg00072.html
https://build.opensuse.org/package/users/utilities/etckeeper


I have noticed that the zypper-etckeeper.py is not operating
on openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 .
At first,
I have noticed that there is not executable in zypper-etckeeper.py .
Then, I corrected Makefile .

--------

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 13ce4fe..cf034a2 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ ifeq ($(HIGHLEVEL_PACKAGE_MANAGER),yum)
 endif
 ifeq ($(HIGHLEVEL_PACKAGE_MANAGER),zypper)
        mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib/zypp/plugins/commit
-       $(INSTALL_DATA) zypper-etckeeper.py
$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib/zypp/plugins/commit/zypper-etckeeper.py
+       $(INSTALL) zypper-etckeeper.py
$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib/zypp/plugins/commit/zypper-etckeeper.py
 endif
        -./etckeeper-bzr/__init__.py install --root=$(DESTDIR)
${PYTHON_INSTALL_OPTS} || echo "** bzr support not installed"
        echo "** installation successful"
--------

I performed "sudo zypper in -C zypp-plugin-python" .

But it does not operate yet .

I read http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/libzypp/HEAD/zypp-plugins.html .

But I did not find a cause .

Do you know some about the cause of not operating ?

The etckeeper is already contained in the utility repository.
http://software.opensuse.org/package/etckeeper
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=utilities&package=etckeeper
Don't you move it to official repository ?

The most likely person is you.  Are you ready to scratch your own itch?

I would like to cooperate as much as possible .
What should I do first ?
First of all register at https://build.opensuse.org if you are not a
registered at openSUSE forums or somewhere else. Than open the package page
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/utilities/etckeeper and request at
least a bugowner role for yourself and finally press submit package button
and set openSUSE:Factory as a target project. A submit request can be
declined for some reason if you can't resolve it please write to
opensuse-packaging mailing list for a help.
I have arleady https://build.opensuse.org/user/show/Mitsutoshi .
I requested the role .
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/237440
I submitted it  to openSUSE:Factory .
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/237442
But the request was declined by factory-auto .
Because  ｆailed to download
"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/etckeeper/etckeeper_1.7.tar.gz"
  Source URLs are not valid.
Surely
"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/etckeeper/etckeeper_1.7.tar.gz"
does not exist .
And etckeeper.spec 's "Copyright" is wrong .
And as it happens, etckeeper 1.12 released 2 days ago .
http://joeyh.name/code/etckeeper/
I will branch utilities/etckeeper to my home,
And I willl update etckeeper to 1.12 .
