Maybe he want's only to use it in a single program? Please continue this thread at opensuse-factory as it was already suggested as part of this thread. Therefore the Reply-To got set. The begin of this thread was here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-01/msg02101.html Why? Cause it's more likely that you'll get the required attention.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Greg, to solve $SUBJ, we need a certificate to sign a kernel with now.

[opensuse-factory] Update libcdio to 0.90 in openSUSE 12.3?
by Cristian Morales Vega 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

libcdio 0.83 had a licensing problem. So we packaged a GIT snapshot. On October version 0.90 was released, but nobody noticed. The problem is that between 0.83 and 0.90 the API was changed. Now you find software that uses things like #if LIBCDIO_VERSION_NUM >= 90 To use the old or the new API. But our GIT snapshot defines LIBCDIO_VERSION_NUM as 84. I am not in any way its maintainer and I have no more knowledge about it than anybody else. So I can't really give any good argument to upgrade or not upgrade. What should we do? - Don't touch anything Let Packman and users who compile its own software feel the pain of having to patch all the software that checks LIBCDIO_VERSION_NUM - Patch our current GIT snapshot to report version 90 Even if it's a GIT snapshot in theory it has been well tested during the development of 12.3. I don't know if there were more API changes between our snapshot and 0.90 - Update our package to 0.90 Less than one month to test it. $ osc whatdependson openSUSE:12.3 libcdio standard i586 libcdio : bundle-lang-gnome-extras cdio-utils clementine gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly gvfs libcddb-utils libcdio-paranoia pragha qmmp vcdimager xine-lib xmms2 Opinions? Stanislav, you are set as maintainer and bugowner.

[opensuse-factory] Devel project <-> factory links
by Archie Cobbs 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

I'm confused/have a dumb question: Suppose some package foobar is first created in a devel project. Life goes on, and then foobar gets submitted to factory and gets accepted. >From reading all the stuff on the wiki I would expect at this point that the devel foobar should remain as before, and the new factory foobar would just contain a _link to the devel foobar... quoting: "Development, however, does not happen directly in openSUSE:Factory but in so called devel projects." But it looks like what actually happens is that the link goes the opposite way: the devel foobar is copied wholesale into factory, and then the devel foobar gets a _link pointing to the factory foobar (example: utilities/csvprintf). That seems backwards. E.g. suppose someone then BURP's the devel foobar. Now the devel foobar is different from the factory foobar. When and how does the factory foobar get updated? And when this happens, does the devel foobar get copied on top of the old factory foobar, and the devel foobar thrown away and recreated with a new _link? Would someone ever want to modify sources directly in the factory foobar, instead of the devel foobar? It seems like we now have two independent places you can make changes to a package. Instead, why doesn't it work this way: - The factory foobar has a _link that points to the devel foobar (possibly with a fixed revision) - Sources are never changed in the factory foobar directly - To update factory foobar, you just update the revision in the _link file. Sorry for asking such basic questions. Just trying to understand how this all works. Thanks, -Archie -- Archie L.
