[opensuse-factory] How can debug rpms be linked to their parent rpms
by Dave Plater 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi, I've just come across a potential problem, I've put up with the fact that when I update a package I have to explicitly tell zypper or yast to update the debug package. Now I'm in the process of renaming rosegarden4 to it's correct name rosegarden and after a zypper dup -r homeproject I've noticed that the old rosegarden4 debug rpms had remained installed along with the new rosegarden ones. I removed them but it prompted me to ask why debug rpms are no longer linked to their parent package. If I remove a package the debug rpms remain behind and debug packages tend to use a lot of disk space. In the old days if one selected a debuginfo package it's matching debugsource was pulled in and if one removed the parent package the debug rpms were also removed. What is the solution to this? A bug report? An enhancement request? Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] submitrequest for package R-base into Factory
by Detlef Steuer 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi! After some cleaning of up the spec file it seems a good moment to put R-base into Factory. R is a programming language for statistical analysis and graphics. Its homepage is http://www.r-project.org . R is used widely throughout the statistical community both in academia and industry, more and more becoming a de-facto standard for implementing new statistical methods. In its very early days R even was included in SuSE releases, but may be more than 10 years since :-) Its current stable release is R-2.12.0. Since 1.5.1 I am the maintainer for SuSE/Open_SUSE rpm packages of R-base. These packages were created on my own machines until the buildservice emerged. (Thanks again to all involved in setting up and maintaining this incredible resource!) R can be found under science:R-base which is a link to devel:languages:R:base in the build service hierachy. R uses GPL. It is included in Fedora and Debian (and derivatives). If you need any other information I'll be happy to provide it.

[opensuse-factory] Getting Wrong Letter when Typing Certain Keyboard Button on (CLI) Terminal
by Andi Sugandi 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi List mates, I'm running openSUSE 11.4 M2 (?) (I did 'zypper dup' from 11.3, KDE4-LiveCD-x86_64). Overall there is no big problem in GUI, but CLI. I can not login to (CLI) terminal because when I type (from keyboard button): root , the letters appear (in LCD monitor): r66t . I investigate it, and find they are other letters that go wrong when typing certain keyboard buttons: "0" change to "/" "u" change to "4" "i" change to "5" "o" change to "6" "p" change to "*" "j" change to "1" "k" change to "2" "l" change to "3" ";" change to "-" "/" change to "+" and i can see in keyboard button that the "wrong letter' is an optional character when pressing it together with Fn-key. So for example, when i type: Fn+o it "should" get 6, but it is also failed both on GUI and CLI. In opeSUSE 11.3, I did not investigate it deeper yet, but at least i can login to (CLI) terminal without problem. Should i file a bug? My computer is ASUS EEEPC 1201T. $ cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 3 of 6 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.4 CODENAME = Celadon Thanks in advance. Best regards, -- Andi Sugandi.

Why does OpenOffice crash after the bootsplash? It even fails if you goto /usr/lib/ooo3/programs and run the files in that directory directly. like ./scalc or others. I will admit openSuSE's version looks nicer than the Sun version. I sure hope that the effort for LibreOffice works.

Many people, myself included, prefer to use Google's own upstream build. Similarly for a number of other packages. One reason is that our builds of chromium are not updated on the same schedule as upstream. Also our builds enable a number of unstable features that upstream does not. The fact that openSUSE is in third place means that in order to follow third-party apps that don't want to have a dedicated openSUSE channel means that we should follow what first (Ubuntu) and second (Fedora) are doing for their major underlying libraries. That's not a criticism of openSUSE, it's just the reality of our position in the community. The more we deviate the more third-party apps (and proprietary apps) will break on our distro, which unfortunately will make us less relevant, not more. There are other good reasons to use libjpeg-turbo, namely the 2-4X speed (also battery) improvement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Help there's a problem with https://build.opensuse.org/package/show? action menu.
by Dave Plater 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

I am getting very frustrated with the build service : I can work around checkin to newly relinked packages that wants to mangle my spec file and delete the contents of local copies but now I'm pulling my hair out. I cannot access the "Alter Package Information" item in the "Actions" menu link in the overview page, "only report bug", in packages where I'm maintainer but not a project maintainer. I can alter the information via "osc meta pkg graphics openCOLLADA -e" and it appears after about 15 min to 1 hour but I cant do anything in the web ui except report a bug to myself. I tried a message to the build service list. This morning (UTC +2) I tried the #opensuse-buildservice irc and I got this : <davepl> Hi, can somebody help with a bug in the webui part of the build service. I can only access report bug on the action menu, when logged in via https://build.opensuse.org/ and https://build.opensuse.org/stage/. This happens in all packages where I'm package maintainer but not a project maintainer. ie. The Action menu link on the overview page in "multimedia:libs jack" gives me : report bug, delete package, edit package [11:12] <davepl> information, submit package, branch package and a second report bug at the bottom.The Action menu link on the overview page in "graphics blender" gives me : report bug only. I'm a project maintainer in multimedia:libs but only a package maintainer of graphics blender. I can use the command line osc meta pkg graphics openCOLLADA -e (the package I actually want to change) and the change goes through and further command line [11:12] <davepl> osc meta pkg shows the change but I can't see it in the web ui (yet). If I try "osc meta pkg graphics dcraw -e" I get "no permission to change package" which is expected. So we aren't back to normal.
