[Bug 463153] New: xorg-x11-libs RPM spec inefficiently extracts ALL *.tar. bz2 in $RPM_SOURCE_DIR
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463153 Summary: xorg-x11-libs RPM spec inefficiently extracts ALL *.tar.bz2 in $RPM_SOURCE_DIR Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: matt@genesi-usa.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com CC: pczanik@genesi-usa.com Found By: --- While compiling xorg-x11-libs RPM for myself (to --enable-vmx for a special AltiVec test) I noticed that the following line is being executed; %setup -T -c %{name} for i in $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/*.tar.bz2; do tar xjf $i; done pushd libXrandr-* Since I have far more packages in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES than just xorg-x11-libs, it is extracting every single one of them before it compiles anything. This is incredibly wasteful and takes an inordinate amount of time out of development, complicating the whole setup. I am going to write a hack to stop it from doing this (since it should only extract named archives relevant to the build really) but if someone gets there first could they attach it to this bugreport?

Using such a workaround as you propose makes errors more likely in the future since you need to change things at two places ("Source:" line and "%setup" section) when you add new sources. ==> WONTFIX -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have kernel source RPMs and suchlike installed and these take forever to extract (and take a lot of disk space for no good reason, since they're not going to be built). I am sure there is a much cleverer way (isn't there a spec variable which concatenates all Source: lines into something like this? I just can't find any documentation on it). I'll ask a question here since it seems to be your package to maintain, why is xorg-x11-libs a single package when other distributions have fully modularized as per modular X.org? Is this just a legacy from older X that was never fully broken up once it went modular? I noticed that libpixman was rolled into it at least in the far past.. after being a seperate package. It would solve the problem once and for all and allow a much more fine-grained X configuration (and a less convoluted source RPM) to have each of these libs as seperate RPMs? I am just wondering what the reasons for this decision were. Would Novell/openSUSE accept a "patch" which split these into seperate RPMs "again"? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't have the ressources for such a change. I'm not aware of libpixman being a seperate package before. I doubt this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Re pixman; the Cairo spec shows: # Last present in SuSE Linux 10.0 (and NLD9): Obsoletes: libpixman <= 0.1.1 Provides: libpixman <= 0.1.1 Basically it looks like it was a seperate package for a small amount of time.. I could be mistaken, but it seems pixman has been moved in and out of other packages (including Cairo, which has had it "included" and then patches "not needed" too... weird stuff IMO). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I added libpixman after the dependancy to it had been added to xorg-server. Probably there was once a libpixman <= 0.1.1 package, that then has been obsoleted later by cairo, but now we are at libpixman 0.12.0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
