[opensuse-buildservice] Vendor string in packages
by Dominique Leuenberger 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi List, The Vendor string in the packages built on OBS (also own installations) always points to openSUSE Build Service. I tried to play with Macros in the Project Configuration (%vendor and alike) but I seem not to have caught the one that actually changes the vendor. So I ended up changing the string in the source of OBS directly. Of course this is terrible, as past proves I tend to forget to re-patch it after an upgrade, ending up with a 'wrong' repository. Is there a way that this could be defined in the Project Config? >From a source point of view I think it would be even better if this string could be moved to the BSConfig.pm (more obvious to find to change it). Comments and tips are welcome ;) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] OBS on OSS 11.1
by Dominique Leuenberger 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi everybody, Currently my OBS is running on OSS 10.2. I remember in the past there were some issues with moving it up to later versions due to signd (package signing) not working (I think it was something with digest signing of pgp... I might be wrong here). Now OSS 10.2 is out of cycle, the machine should finally be upgraded and I would like to go to 11.1 of course (x86_64). Is there anything special to take care of? Will signing work? Anything else I need to know? Thanks for your input!

[opensuse-buildservice] OBS: Who uses Download on Demand or Cross Build - small survey
by Martin Mohring 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi, a short Discussion on the IRC channel inspired me to ask this question to all on the mailing list: - Who knows what Download on Demand is inside OBS - Who uses the Cross Development Feature for ARM architecture already now (although OBS 1.5 is not yet officially released) - Who of you is using Pre Release Packages for OBS from openSUSE:Tools:Devel or openSUSE:Tools:Unstable Feedback is very welcome to improve usability or potential Bugs. Kind regards, Martin Mohring OBS / Maintainer Development Packages - OBS Testing -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Ubuntu packaging problem
by Kevin James 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi all, Got a Ubuntu packaging problem... I´ve specified debhelper as a build dependency in debian.control and <myprojectname>.dsc , but I still get dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper The package is home:rincewind23/xmlcopyeditor. I tried following the instructions here: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Deb_builds But the first problem I've run into is this debhelper problem. If I remove the debhelper dependency, all the dh_* scripts aren't available, and it fails there.

[opensuse-buildservice] template library
by Tomáš Čech 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi, I'm occasionally using OBS and it is great. I have not much time for that so don't blame me if I'm completely wrong. I was thinking about some package template support and library of such templates. With such feature adding packages should be easier and more correct. For example I want to add KDE4 Plasmoid. I would just select appropriate template in library, add sources and easily add missing package specific dependencies. Similar templates can be done for Xwindows application, KDE3, KDE4, GNOME, special plugins etc. If I think it further, that can be done quite easily without major modification to current system. That template can be empty package from a special project which can be copied into user's project. That means few packagers would create and maintain several packages and it would be checked by others. In future it could store only diffs and could be changed massively.

by Gabriel Fróes Franco 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hello @all, My name is Gabriel Franco and I currently help on the marketing list with Portuguese translations. I read today the call for contributors and I'm really interested, I was looking for a way to help openSUSE project with some kind of development and I think this is a good opportunity to get some mentoring and put my skills to work for openSUSE. So who wants to show me around? I have web development experience with Java, PHP, Ajax so I think learning Ruby on Rails might not be bad. Hope I can be useful, Best Regards, -- Gabriel Fróes Franco Software Architect Zend Certified Engineer - PHP5 Sun Java Certified Programmer - Java 5 Discover Freedom =============== openSUSE Linux http://www.opensuse.org OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org Netbeans IDE http://www.netbeans.org Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] help, adding Boost::System library stops x64 bit peless builds
by Paul Elliott 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Help I have a problem getting 64 bit peless packages to build. It started out building successfully with 64 bit. And then.... I have a package, peless, that uses the the boost libraries. Specificly, libboost_filesystem. Recently, it failed to build for Mandriva 2009. This failure occured because mandriva uses the newest version of the boost library, version 36. In version 36 the include file for Boost::Filesystem reference the new libarary boost::System. Since all distros will eventually use boost version 36 or later, I must address this problem. I therefore added the line AX_BOOST_SYSTEM to configure.ac and the I added $(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB) to my peless_LDADD in Makefile.am This worked for all my 32 bit distros. In the older distros that were still using earlier versions of boost, ./configure figured out that boost::System did not exist and did not link to libboost_system...... Mandriva 2009 32 bit figured out that boost::System did exit and successfully built. HOWEVER, all my 64 bits packages failed to load. ./configure failed. Here is a sample error message: excerpt from: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=peles… checking for textdomain... yes checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99... yes checking for _Bool... yes checking for x86_64-suse-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for DEPS... yes checking for boostlib >= 1.32.1... yes checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes configure: error: Could not link against ! error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.98259 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.98259 (%build) mount: can't find / in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab System halted. --------------------------- Here is the same section from the corresponding 32 bit build: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=i586&package=peless&… checking for textdomain... yes checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99... yes checking for _Bool... yes checking for i686-suse-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for DEPS... yes checking for boostlib >= 1.32.1... yes checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes checking for exit in -lboost_filesystem... yes checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes checking for exit in -lboost_regex... yes checking whether the Boost::System library is available... no configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating po/Makefile.in config.status: creating peless.desktop.in config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing intltool commands config.status: executing default-1 commands ------------------------------------------- The above problems do not occur with out my mods to configure.ac and Makefile.am. Can anyone figure out this bug? Unfortunately, I am between jobs and can not afford to buy a 64 bit computer to test this on. I am using suse build service.

Thank You. don't worry about mandriva 2007, there seems to be and unrelated dependancy problem there. also don't work about opensuse 11.1, it is afflicted by this bug: Bug 430965 - brp-check-desktop for translation must not be enabled for third party repos in OBS https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430965 I must find a workaround for this or wait for it to be fixed. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
