I've used the debtransform functionality of the buildservice and I'll like to propose the two attached patches:
1) Debian-based distros require the tarball to be .tar.gz , which is annoying with cross-distro packaging. This patch adds support for using .tar.bz2 or .zip and debtransform converts the archive to .tar.gz , in addition to renaming it as it does now. I've tested this locally with osc build and it seems to work fine.
Why don't you just use ".gz" instead?
Because rpmlint then complains to me. Or maybe because there are advantages to using the original tarball, like being to able to easily check it really is the original tarball (which makes Debian requiring .tar.gz rather funny, because it is otherwise so much against modifying the tarball for these reasons).
2) Applying patches using debian.series has a different default for the -p argument of patch. While .spec defaults to -p0, debtransform defaults to -p1.
IIRC this is to be compatible to the "quilt" series file.
:( . Well, I suppose somebody wanting to do a shared .rpm/.deb build from just one source will need a syncing script anyway. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
