: Hi, as a learning exercise I am trying to package blender-2.49a for factory (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525298 ) and my first obstacle is a dependency on ffmpeg which is a packman / videolan package. What do I do in this case?
You can build against my home:RedDwarf:fakePackman project.
Thanks, but this has to be submitted to factory, are dependencies like this allowed? The spec file had a conditional statement to include ffmpeg but version 2.28a didn't include it.
Uhm no, official packages can't depend on external ones. But yes, you can make it conditional. See Audacity from Factory as an example (https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=audacity.spec&package=audacity&project=openSUSE%3AFactory) At really the best thing to do is to make it conditional so openSUSE and Packman (that also packages it: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/blender) can share the same spec file. Talk to Andrea Florio about cooperating in the mantainership of the package. libxine is already comantained between Packman and openSUSE (http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/09/12/conditional-features-aka-use-flags/). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
