[opensuse-factory] [CTPP library] - new openSUSE package
by Andrei V.Shetuhin 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

CTPP (or CT++) is a template engine (see HTML::Template, HTML::Template::JIT, Template Toolkit, etc) but is completely written in C++. It has bindings for Perl, PHP and Python languages. I think, it's a good idea to add this library in openSUSE distribution. More about CTPP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTPP/ Main repository of project: http://svn.havoc.ru/svn/ctpp2/ Repository for Perl, PHP & Python modules: http://svn.havoc.ru/svn/ctpp2-bindings/ Project site: http://ctpp.havoc.ru/en/ - in English http://ctpp.havoc.ru/ - in Russian Perl package: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-CTPP2/ PHP guide: http://ctpp.havoc.ru/en/php-ctpp-guide.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] bash 4 and readline 6 - what's the plan for suse?
by David C. Rankin 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Listmates, I had a brush with very strange thing called readline (version 6) and bash (version 4). I don't know if it was the defaults I was exposed to or a strange configuration of key bindings, but it was a challenge to use. What is the plan for readline 6 and bash 4 in openSuSE? When implemented, will openSuSE try and retain its configuration and key-mappings so that bash 4 and readline 6 continues to work like bash 3.2 and readline 6? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse-factory] python packaging mailing list
by Jan Matejek 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Fellow python packagers, would any of you be interested in having our own mailing list for things concerning devel:languages:python (and possibly d:l:py:Factory) ? I think that it would be beneficial; on the other hand, i'm not sure about how many python-related packagers actually read the lists. And it would be stupid to have a shiny new opensuse-factory-python mailing list with nobody in there. regards m. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2009-06-16
by Petr Gajdos 23 Jun '09

Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2009-06-16 =============================================== Present: mhrusecky, mseben, mvyskocil, nadvornik, pgajdos, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: pgajdos (1) Jack Daemon =============== mseben encounter a problems with jack audio server. Currently there is a problem with coexistence between jack and pulseaudio in penSUSE:Factory. The possible workaround could be switch to the jack2. New jack daemon can cooperate with pulseaudio, so it could help to us avoid problems with sound applications, which use jackd as sound server. The jackd2 packages are prepared in home:mseben:audio repository. (2) Broken Links in OBS ======================= During an update of sun java in internal BuildService instance mvyskocil ended with broken links after submit requests was accepted. The branches still contains patches and new sources, even if they might be deleted after accepting of a patch. In meanwhile he filled following bugreport: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515110 (3) Merging Config Files ======================== mhrusecky was investigating possibilities how to realize merging of configurations (feature#306411 [1] ). Currently it seems like it could be possible via patching rpm and implementing another requested feature (see zypp-devel mailing list [2] and feature#301175 [3]). As these things may change, and it is always good to have everything in one place, he created page on wiki [4] to track these ideas.

[opensuse-factory] Yast - can't resize "size" column
by David C. Rankin 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Listmates, I am trying to resize the size column in yast to make it readable, but I can't seem to make it work. I can grab the left side of the column and drag it around, I can grab the column-title "Size" and change the column order, but I cannot grab the right-edge and expand it. Bug or feature? -- David C.

[opensuse-factory] Does kde4 break crossover? (not the app, but the .desktop logic)
by David C. Rankin 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Listmates, I don't use crossover office that often, but since it was still on my system, I thought I would test it on kde4 beta 2. It doesn't run. The problem appears to be some mix-up in the way the old .desktop files from kde3 work (or don't) with kde4. Specifically, the .desktop file for word has the Exec line as: Exec=/home/david/.cxoffice/winxp/desktopdata/cxassoc/Scripts/cxoffice-d8d97273-7f23-4dba-919d-512cbfc6a2c8:application_msword But it doesn't work. Attempting to launch it from the command line, give the following error: 00:55 alchemy:~/.kde4/share/config> /home/david/.cxoffice/winxp/desktopdata/cxassoc/Scripts/cxoffice-d8d97273-7f23-4dba-919d-512cbfc6a2c8:application_msword cxstart:error: you must specify the document to open with cxstart cxstart:error: --start-only, --start-default, --start-mime, --start-class and --start-verb can only be used with --start cxstart:error: try 'cxstart --help' for more information OK so: 01:11 alchemy:~/.kde4/share/config> /home/david/.cxoffice/winxp/desktopdata/cxassoc/Scripts/cxoffice-d8d97273-7f23-4dba-919d-512cbfc6a2c8:application_msword --start-default cxstart:error: --start-default can only be specified once cxstart:error: try 'cxstart --help' for more information Hmmm, navigating to the actual shortcut and executing it from konqueror: /home/david/.cxoffice/winxp/desktopdata/cxmenu/Shortcuts/cxoffice-d8d97273-7f23-4dba-919d-512cbfc6a2c8.winword Works! Is there something I can do to update the kde3 cxoffice .desktop files and menu entries to work with kde4 short of recreating all of them? Or, is this a bug that just needs to be reported? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse-factory] status distribution
by Stephan Kulow 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi, It's not exactly green and not exactly red, it's rather yellowish. At the moment we have basically two problems: getting down the build failures resulting out of glibc 2.10 updates (while automake 1.11 is already at the horizon). Reorg of factory is happening happily next to it and I hope to get the live cds building today again. At the same time we experiment with -as-needed being the default option and see quite a lot of new build failures, so I'm not sure we will see that. Let me give you some background on this: as-needed changes the way the linked handles shared libraries and is promoted mainly by gentoo devs (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/234710 and http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml). As you can see in the later link, the section of benefits is _much_ shorter than the section with problems (even though a lot of the problems are gentoo specific). So there is one reason why we would want it: people say openSUSE is slow and others are faster because ..., use as-needed, ... Noone so far could explain why as-needed can be faster, but surely is a lot cleaner dependency tree. And then there are tons of build failures because packages are old and/or developers don't care too much for linking and dump libraries in random order and random number into the link line and let the linker sort it out. But sometimes a library looks unneeded and is only needed later -> boom. These cases are easy to detect and disabled by changing the binutils default back for these packages. And then there are problems that will only appear during testing and those are the most interesting: * packages have broken configure checks and will silently disable features that would be in without as-needed * C++ code in shared libraries may depend on the correct order of initializing static objects. This hit e.g. KDE years ago, as-needed became popular enough long ago to don't make this a real problem. So I would like to hear feedback on this. We have an alternative of course: leaving binutils as it is and only set SUSE_ASNEEDED=1 in packages where we expect real benefits. Or we set SUSE_ASNEEDED=0 in all packages creating a build problem and you guys say we test enough to make as-needed useful.

[opensuse-factory] can't change bugzilla email
by Felix Miata 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

According to http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.2/en/html/userpreferences.html there should be 5 preferences tabs, and the fourth should be Name and Password, but instead the fourth is Permissions, and there is no fifth. As a consequence, I cannot replace my obsolete email address with my current email address. It worked yesterday on all the other Bugzillas I have accounts with (Mozilla, Red Hat, Mandriva, Kernel, etc.). What do I do to update my Novell Bugzilla account? -- "Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle."
