[opensuse-gnome] Overview of rpmlint warnings in G:F
by Vincent Untz 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hey, Thanks to Magnus, and after some quick coding, we have back some page that we lost a few months ago (when we completely moved to the build service): http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py This gives an overview of all the rpmlint warnings in G:F. Some should be pretty trivial to fix: http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=non-utf8-spec-file http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=files-attr-not-set http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=non-break-space http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=untranslated-desktop… http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=deprecated-use-of-%r… http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=no-%build-section etc. It's also possible to view those warnings per package. http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?srcpackage=anjuta etc. So if people are wondering what can be done... here's another good opportunity ;-) Note that it might make sense to look at this page when updating a package to a new version, to try to fix a few more warnings. (the page itself is obviously not perfect: it should be possible to have the details for each warning -- it's possible since it's in the database, it just needs some more line) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:UNSTABLE
by Magnus Boman 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hello people, I'd like to delete all package from GNOME:UNSTABLE to avoid people using old, stale, broken stuff. G:U, as explained [1] is only going to be used once Factory is frozen prior to the next openSUSE release. If you have any packages in there that you need, can you please copy them somewhere else. I plan on removing all packages in a weeks time. Also, as a side note, GNOME:Factory:Next have now been removed and people should be using GNOME:Factory instead. Thanks, Magnus [1] http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Repositories -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Fwd: Re: [opensuse-factory] gconftool-2 makes factory update slow

Hey there, Some relevant information for people using G:F. If you're seeing some weird stuff about gconf in the next few days, ping me.

After some discussion with Michael, and thanks to his input, I made some changes to the gconf2 package which should solve the issue in most cases: + we call gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule only once per package using gconf now, instead of multiple times. This should improve things significantly for some packages. (we still have to call gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule too) + if the schema file hasn't changed between the old and the new package, we just skip this test. And since schema files don't change that often, this is a huge win. I just put the updated gconf2 package in GNOME:Factory, so it'd be great to have people test GNOME:Factory to make sure it doesn't break anything. I'm a bit hesitant to directly push it to openSUSE:Factory since it can break stuff badly if I made a small mistake ;-) But we'll push it at some point. Note that to really experience the improvement, you'll need to update to GNOME packages compiled with this new gconf. And then, on the following updates, it will be much faster. (the first update is still somewhat slow because the package you currently have has the old %preun script which is not optimal) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Fwd: commit libproxy for openSUSE:Factory

What do you mean it can't be used in the %files section? I have been packaging this lib for more than half a year with this and apparently everything goes well? I even use this technique very often in %files %{_libdir}/%{name}.so.%{shnum} as it allows to 'detect' immediately that the version is wrong, based on a wrong file blob. Under what specific case does it not work in %files ?

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Community python / python-gtk packages
by Dominique Leuenberger 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Good afternoon, I was just busy updating comix to the latest version in G:C and ran into an issue (works up to openSUSE 11.1, so I submitted the package, even though it does not work on Factory for the moment). the problem in short: comix BuildRequires: python-gtk and python-gtk apparently Requires python < 2.6, which is not available. Is this a known problem? In a regular factory build we have python-gtk and apparently it does not require python < 2.6.. Looking forward for some fixes there :) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Calling all teams
by Magnus Boman 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hello, I just had a look at our wiki page [1] and lots of stuff was really outdated. We had "Report a bug" pointing to 10.3 etc. I think we really need to have virtual teams that take responsible for the different parts, such as wiki, packaging, testing, bug reporting etc. We currently do have a page for Team [2] and Directory [3] On the Directory [3] page, we list the following topics; * Accessibility * Bug Tracking * Packaging * Meetings * Helping Hands * GNOME Repositories I think we need a wiki specific topic as well, and would like each and everyone of you to add yourself to the topics of interest and where you can help. We should then try to go through these topics once a month (either during the normal meeting or as a separate meeting) to make sure that we keep this up to date. As I see it, people adding themselfs to the wiki topic would have a huge task on their hand, checking pages to make sure they are current. It's also a great way to contribute if you don't have coding skills etc. Opinions?
