Hello,

I want to update the package ja2-stracciatella in the games repository to version 0.17.0.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Kieltux:branches:games/ja2-stra cciatella

The new version needs the library string_theory which is not available for openSUSE.

The build process wants to download string_theory from github, because it is not found.

[ 36s] Scanning dependencies of target string_theory [ 36s] [ 12%] Creating directories for 'string_theory' [ 37s] [ 25%] Performing download step (download, verify and extract) for 'string_theory' [ 37s] -- Downloading...

Can I add string_theory (string_theory-3.1.tar.gz) manually to the package and patch the build process?

According to the commit that added the string_theory dependency (https:// github.com/ja2-stracciatella/ja2-stracciatella/commit/ cd0c9bf5d833718b91c439a0d658f7d69e69a907) I'd say that you can't. Even if you have string_theory installed locally I'd say it won't work. So this what I did: - I built string_theory at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/ home:juliogonzalez - Copied ja2-stracciatella package to the same project ^ and adapted it to require "string_theory-devel", patch "dependencies/lib-string_theory/ CMakeLists.txt" and remove a file that doesn't existe anymore That fixes the building for Leap 15.2 and Tumbleweed. The rest of the OS have other issues: - Leap 15.1: cargo version is too old, I don't think Leap 15.1 is going to accept an update, but anyway it will go EoL soon, so I guess you can ignore it. - SLE: rust packages conflicting, I guess it could be fixed but the package doesn't even build at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/games/ja2-stracciatella for SLE. Feel free to copypac my packages from home:juliogonzalez to home:Kieltux:branches:games, test them, fix whatever else is needed, and submit them to "games:" A big warning: maybe the spec for string_theory will require some changes before it gets accepted by "games:" project. In other words: I am not sure it follows *all* the openSUSE rules for such kind of packages. I tried my best and at least builds and fixes the problem building ja2-stracciatella. The other fixes are on you :-) Best regards. -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez@suse.com

Hola Julio,

thank you for taking your time to give me such a detailed answer for my problem. This is a great help for me, and I think you are right: It would be fine to build in my home repository, but would not be accepted in "games:". I will try my best.

Happy to help a litte with building something for GNU/Linux gaming :-) Maybe they will accept it, if you make some minor changes. I think the name should be fine (underscore should be accepted as an exception, as it's part of the upstream name, the OBS tests rejected the lib prefix -IIRC because the outputs are only .h and .cmake files files and no binaries at all-) so maybe you will only need to adjust some paths for the files. Just ping them, and I am sure they will happy to tell you what to fix. Or make the submission and wait for their feedback. Good luck!

Muchas gracias, Carsten
