[opensuse-packaging] Packaging Guideline enforcement
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Dear Factory contributors and packagers, As openSUSE 12.2 is frozen and Factory is 'open to go wild' again, I would like to announce that the packaging guidelines have some extensions (not really new) that will be stricter enforced than they used to be. Currently a common rule to be 'ignored' or packagers are not aware is around the topics of: - .Changes entries - Patches First, the .changes entry (rpm changelog) surves two purposes: - News for the user - History tracking of packaging changes (often referenced in bugs to verify if a user has the latest packaging bugfixeS). A simple "Update to version x.y.z" is, as before, not accepted. There should be some buzz around the update for the user; some major reasons to the upgrade should be listed Changes on the package itself should be mentioned in a way that any other contributor to the same package can follow traces of why something is the way it is. Commonly, Added (build)dependencies are interesting to be seen, special hacks to make something work in a particular way [..]: Always consider that package maintenance is a distributed task and various contributors need to be able to step up at will. Patches: The rules about patches are listed at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines . Most prominent is likely the mentioning of the patches life cycle, which forces you to mention additions and removals of patches in the changelog. As history shows, this can be helpful if a patch got removed, and later a regression is reported; finding out when a patch was removed can be crucial in reconstructing feature sets (including contacting the contributor that dropped it.. which is easily extracted from the .changes if listed) The main appeal is to the devel project maintainers / reviewers, to keep out for those rules, to live according to them, as it is frustrating for everybody if a package needs to be declined by the Factory Review team: - The dev prj maintainer is the one getting the 'decline' (as it was usually a forwarded request), which often leaves the 'fixing' to the devel project maintainers, where the 'originator' of the fix would have been willing to actually do that... And the Factory Review team also prefers to see complying submissions to having to reject SRs... reject is not fun for anybody! Looking forward to many more SRs to accept!

[opensuse-packaging] ldconfig - I'm frustrated
by Greg Freemyer 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

All, I sent the httrack package to security a couple weeks ago. It builds, but with a few rpmlint issues. I thought I would clean up the one about the shared library needing to be split out to its own package. I've tried to do that in home:gregfreemyer:branches:security > httrack The diff is: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff?opackage=httrack&oproject=security… I've tried multiple ways to call ldconfig. But my build always fails with: [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhtsjava.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhttrack.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] This package contains a library and provides no %post scriptlet containing a [ 218s] call to ldconfig. The spec file currently has: === %post /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib64 %postun /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib64 === I've tried the basic versions as well. == %post -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig == %post /sbin/ldconfig %postun /sbin/ldconfig == Can anyone tell me what's going on?

[opensuse-packaging] Packages looking for volunteers: festival, libgsasl
by Vincent Untz 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, I'm looking for new maintainers for these two packages: devel:libraries:c_c++/libgsasl This is the GNU SASL library. It's used by a few packages, is alive upstream with a nice maintainer. I only touched this package because another packages I was working on was using it, and inherited from maintenance this way. But I really don't look at it, so I feel it could do with more love. hardware/festival This is a speech synthesis system. I'm not quite sure how much it's still used; it used to be a dependency for GNOME accessibility (which is why I somehow became maintainer, I guess), but it's not used there anymore. I'm happy to give magical powers to anyone willing to take over those packages :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] WARNING: Incompatible upgrades incoming for Horde 5 Groupware and Libraries
by Ralf Lang 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, With the upcoming release of Horde 5 Groupware, I am going to replace all horde-related framework packages in server:php:applications with their 2.0 counterparts and all horde apps with their horde 5 versions. I won't maintain horde 4 in server:php:applications any further, apart from security related updates in released and maintained opensuse versions. I will probably stage/bootstrap these upgrades in a separate repo first. This will mostly affect users of SLES 11 and SLES 11 SP1 who used server:php:applications as their source repository for Horde 4 apps.

[opensuse-packaging] Packaging Policies - and how to change them: A proposal
by Andreas Jaeger 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Looking at our packaging policies, I see nobody nobody currently taking care of it and no real process to change them and make those changes known. So, I'd like to propose the following: * Introduce a simple process for changing the policies, e.g.: - send an email to opensuse-packaging with a proposal for change - discuss change - if change gets accepted by packagers and reviewers: + update the wiki pages + send an email to opensuse-announce about the change (we can also collect a couple of smaller changes and only send this out once a while) * I suggest to form a small team that guides the process and decides if there is no consensus - and better formulates the process. Any better ideas? Who likes to join the team and help shaping the packaging policies?

[opensuse-packaging] Help needed to figure out what is missing

Hi, For sometime I have been trying to get racket [1] to build and after a long fight I manage to get it building and working on openSUSE 12.1 and Factory but for some reason I can't figure out why it fails to build for openSUSE 12.2 Help is appreciated as I intent to submit it to devel:languages:misc and hopefully into factory Togan [1] <http://www.racket-lang.org/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] setting a system variable and compiler options
by Denny Beyer 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Dear all, I could use some input for a progam I packaging at the moment, which requires two system variables to run. 1. path to binaries The documentation says, that /usr/local/program/bin/ needs to be in the PATH - variable. That shouldn't be needed, if those binaries are installed into "/usr/bin" by the package. If that doesn't work, I'll use links from "/usr/bin/" 2. path to libraries Looks like this is needed: MYLIBPATHVAR is required to point to the library of the program in "/usr/lib/program/lib/" or "/usr/share/program/lib/" How do I introduce a new system wide environment variable - available for all users? 3. Compiler options for optimization to improve the performance of the program, the compiler could get some performance settings like -O3 -mtune=corei7 -march=corei7 etc. to get the full capability for calculations (sse4.2). How does that effect the packaging? Do I need to splitt off a -SSE3/4 package and how does that work? Could somebody point me to some wiki page / sample package to see how to achieve that? You'll see the package in obs https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=radiance&project=home%3Alum… cheers, Denny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Is there a macro for both BuildRequires and Requires?
by Greg Freemyer 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

All, I think Requires and BuildRequires are disjoint / independent. I have a package that has about 20 Requires. I'd like to have a %check section for it, but I'll need all those requires at build time as well to do that. Is there a clean solution?
