Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-03-31 ========================================== Present: sbrabec, mkudlvasr, puzel, pgajdos, matejcik, prusnak, anicka, mseben, mhrusecky, mvyskocil, nadvornik 1. Dropped repository ===================== We agreed on Dropped repository. It should contain some sources of packages dropped from our distribution. This packages will not build against any repository. To Dropped repository should go someone who would like to restore old package. 2. Opensuse Buildservice ======================== We all should use Opensuse Buildservice tools. For example submitting noncritical patches via submit requests to devel project instead of submitting them directly into factory (either via osc or via yapt). Maintainer of package may want to decline patch for various reasons. For example maintainer can be in the middle of version update which includes patch you want to submit. Also submitting patches directly into factory may broke devel project and other projects linked against it. And these projects may contain several nontrivial already prepared patches. Also using internal tools and not using devel projects makes it more difficult for community members to help us with development. 4. Packaging guidelines ======================= We need HELP with merging our existing SUSE Package Conventions into Fedora Packaging Guidelines. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-03/msg00042.html 5. Status reports ================= anicka - perl modules: update to current versions mhrusecky - working on MySQL upgrade in OBS mseben openmotif : bnc#486469 fixed and submitted openmotif21-libs zlib : bnc#490107 problem with zlib license virtualbox-ose : fixed libXalan-c-devel dependency and working on bnc#484333 mvyskocil - test of icedtea bug#264, updated icedtea to 1.4.1 in Java:openjdk6 and Factory (sr#8626) pgajdos * diffstat update to 1.47 (works with patch ".rej" files) prusnak - psi: fixed problems with Qt 4.5, enable whiteboarding and MPRIS - reviewing GSoC applications - porting Packaging Guidelines - cleaned gammu/wammu spec in upstream, so it could be used in Factory without changes - installed instance of OBS for hacking purposes puzel - looking for useful dropped packages - make wt build again - investigate and reassign #460787 - zypper lr crashes in libzypp sbrabec openct, pcsc-cyberjack: Fixing smart card packages (bnc#438131, bnc#413284, bnc#304149) and backporting hal to security:chipcard (bnc#492427, bnc#492431).

[opensuse-factory] Latest Update of KDE 4.22 Factory for 11.1 Renders KDE 4.2 Unbootable
by Sudhir 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

The KDE4 desktop was updated normally using Yast and KDE4 factory repositories. In the past, this has not caused any problems. This time however KDE4 does not start. KDM fails to show the login in screen. GDM boots up and displays the login screen, allowing access to KDE3 and Gnome but not KDE4. Using XDM as the login manager, an error message complains: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 139. Check your installation." Searching on the internet did not point to a solution. The file contain the program (kdebase4-workspace-4.2.2-219.1.i586.rpm) was downloaded from the 11.1 Factory respository and installed but to no avail. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks for any help. Sudhir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] YaST Partitioner: is it 11.1 the same as Factory? (Missing option to edit/add lable)
by Rajko M. 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

If it is the same then workflow is missing branch for labeling of external hard disks without mounting the drive. This is important for external hard disk drives that are usually mounted dynamically, so there is no need to specify mount point in fstab. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, As i used this page: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_on_the_EeePC#ath5k , to orientate myself to install opensuse 11.1 on eee-pc, i noticed that it is not up to date anymore.. Is it possible to get the hotkey support for 11.1/11.2 in some online repo? F1 to F9 are most important.... ;) many thnx if someone would look into this... (many eee-pc owners on the dutch pda- forum are very interested in opensuse on eee-pc..) -- Have a nice day, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] Certain patch files fail due to new version of Patch in upcoming Factory
by Raymond Wooninck 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Dear All, I guess that maybe some of you already noticed it, but some previous successfully build packages are suddenly failing for the openSUSE:Factory repository only. This seems to be caused by the new version of Patch that is in the currently being build Factory. Unfortunately the patchfiles that are failing need to be recreated after the new version of patch is installed. Fortunately there are no backwards compatibility issues.

[opensuse-factory] For Testing: new version of HPLIP (3.9.2)
by Raymond Wooninck 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello, I have provided for testing HPLIP version 3.9.2 (packages hplip-3.9.2 and hplip-hpijs-3.9.2) for openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE 11.0, openSUSE 11.1 and for the openSUSE development version "FACTORY" for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64) via the openSUSE build service at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rwooninck:/updates/ The packages are * only for testing * without any guarantee or warranty * without any support As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. For example I did some quick tests with a HP PhotoSmart C5180 all-in-one device on a 32-bit workstation with openSUSE 11.2Factory and printing worked normally. Do not use FACTORY if your system is 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1. Use the matching package for your particular system. FACTORY is not better, it is worse when you have openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1. Using whatever packages from FACTORY in a openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 system causes crashes in arbitrary cases because you would also need the base system from FACTORY. You can easily mess up your openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 system with FACTORY updates. In case of problems the RPM changelog via rpm -q --changelog hplip might provide hints which change cause an issue in particular on older systems (openSUSE 10.3). The version number 3.9.2 is higher than the version of the original packages in openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 so that you may have to remove installed hplip-3.9.2 and hplip-hpijs-3.9.2 packages manually using (as root) rpm -e --nodeps hplip hplip-hpijs before you could re-install the original packages for openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1.

As indicated I created a link to the hplip package in Factory and started from there.

The question only is where to announce that there is a newer build for hplip ? I will definitely place a message on the factory mailing list, but I assume that users of the previous openSUSE versions will not read this mailing list Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

For the second one I will perform some tests, but I am not sure if I can really reproduce it as I have never seen this on my system. Is there a specific devel project for HPLIP or is it just maintained in Factory ? If so, where is it build for 11.0 and 11.1 ?

Hi, To get the wireless on eeepc901 to work, this kernel module is needed. For older kernels there is one here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/11316859/com/rt2860sta-kmp-defa… Also the source rpm is available... Is there a reason that it is not available for 2.6.29, or will it become available shortly? ---- Have a nice day ;) Oddball aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] How to obtain rt2860 detection with the latest kernel:head kernel:2.6.29-56?
by Oddball 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I am using this kernel, and it is quicker than the original 11.1 one, has also volume control working on hotkeys, but no wireless card detection for rt2860. The userspace module does not apply because it has to be detected first. The complaint is that there is no hw-info on the card. Does anyone want to tell me how to get the card detected? tia. -- Have a nice day ;) Oddball aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] HPLIP version
by Raymond Wooninck 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I was wondering if there is any reason why the hplip package in Factory is running that far behind in version ? In Factory we have 2.8.7, while the hp website is already providing version 3.9.2. I will start building the new version in my home repository and if it builds correctly I could perform a submitreq to Factory. Please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice-3.0.99.3 x86_64
by Markus Koßmann 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Today factories OpenOffice was updated to 3.0.99.3. However the *extensions*x86_64.rpms didn't made it into factory ( these packages are available in OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE). That causes nasty dependency problems ( one option is to downgrade to i586 because the i586 extensions are not missing). Is there any problem with these packages or is the problem only that they weren't propagated to the factory repo ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
