[opensuse-factory] qemu package split
by Andreas Färber 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi everyone, Ever since I've been involved with openSUSE, the qemu package has had an unusual setup of configuring and building twice: once for the regular binaries, then moving them to a temporary directory and finally configuring and building statically for the qemu-linux-user subpackage, used for arm chroot builds among others. In our quest to finally unify the kvm and qemu packages, I have updated the qemu package to 1.5.0 (SR#176307 pending for Factory) and have subsequently prepared to split the qemu.spec[.in] to build qemu-linux-user in a separate linked package similar to gcc or kernel: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/176308 AFAICS the RPM package name stays the same that way, so armv7/armv5el should hopefully be unaffected and the change transparent to end users. A nice side-effect is that we can limit the SLE_11_SP2 build breakage to qemu-linux-user package (BNC#820754: SLE_11_SP2 is missing a glibc maintenance update for static builds). Also the dependencies for qemu-linux-user get significantly less and no *-static deps for qemu. If I don't hear any objections, I'll accept the changed qemu package into Virtualization project later today and will setup qemu-linux-user package there. For Factory this is a heads-up that we will require to copy/setup the additional qemu-linux-user package once we've tidied up and submit the package split to Factory at some future point towards 13.1. Further 13.1 work still under discussion is to create further subpackages inside qemu so that the kvm package won't need to depend on mips etc. emulation binaries.

[opensuse-factory] New package twilio-utils
by Archie Cobbs 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hello, I'd like to submit a new package to factory, twilio-utils in network:telephony. This is a set of command line scripts for interacting with the Twilio: http://www.twilio.com/ Twilio is an Internet telephony and SMS gateway service. The twilio-utils project contains a few UNIX command-line utilities that are handy when working with Twilio: * sendsms - Send an outbound SMS message via Twilio * smslen - Calculate SMS payload length * twilog - Download Twilio notifications into syslog https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=twilio-utils&project=networ… The upstream project is also maintained by me.

[opensuse-factory] PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (zlib library version does not match - header: 1.2.7, library: 1.2.8)
by Alin Marin Elena 20 May '13

20 May '13

that is with a current factory when trying to run for example luatools or lualatex. reverting to 1.2.7... solves the luatools lualatex issues... but I do not what else breaks.

[opensuse-factory] RFC: replace LXDE with E17
by Tomas Cech 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi, work on E17 is still in progress but I believe that E17 is very well usable for everyday use already. I'd like to make E17 available for openSUSE users through installer and on DVD. Unfortunately DVD is already more than full so to get something in means get something out at the same time. There is one obvious choice - LXDE doesn't seem to be much alive. This doesn't mean that packages would be dropped, it only means that packages won't be available on DVD and installation choice would be removed. I see also another way possible - enhance installer to offer desktop environment if there is Internet connection and install from network. Even though it sounds correct it may mean a lot of work... So possible choices: 1] no E17 is needed on DVD 2] get rid of LXDE finally 3] YaST installer should be fixed Please, tell me your opinion here. Best regards, Tomas Cech Sleep_Walker

[opensuse-factory] new Mozilla JavaScript lib
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 19 May '13

19 May '13

Hi, I'm going to submit a new Mozilla JS engine to Factory. It'll be a new set of packages and no update for existing ones. New packages are named libmozjs-17_0 - containing the library mozjs17 - currently more or less empty (could hold the JS interpreter but the interpreter can only be built statically linked currently and so I left it out for now. If there is any need for a command line JS interpreter, please let me know. mozjs17-devel - include and pkg-config file mozjs-17.0.pc and as you can see from the version numbering it is based on the ESR17 version. The existing JS engine libmozjs185-1_0 js js-devel will be dropped afterwards. Please migrate your packages to use the new engine once it appears in Factory.

[opensuse-factory] how does one get the rootfs device name to compare against one in /etc/fstab (and lvm vols)
by Linda Walsh 18 May '13

18 May '13

Seems like the code to mount was extremely messed up in factory or 12.3 -- not exactly sure -- but someone replaced the old, working mount, with one based on one in usr/lib/libmount -- which doesn't seem to know about fstab nor does it know about "mtab" (as needing to be separate from /proc/mounts). I have mount points setup in fstab. I have disk maint programs that need to tie mounted file systems to those device names used in fstab. It used to be simple to determine the dev of a directory: df <dir> (like "df .") -- massage and you'd have the device name. Now, the best I've come up with is to **NOT** have /etc/mtab linked (or mount cannot write to it!! as documented in the man page). Zero it out, then run "mount -c -f -a" to recreate most of it. Seems like the devices are not created in the new map. But unless I run "mount -c -f /" in addition to the "-a" line, root's fs doesn't show up... why do I want to see "rootfs".. it's insecure -- I don't know the real root device. Can mount be fixed? And can the advice to link /etc/mtab->/proc/mounts be reconsidered -- since it breaks documented "mount" functionality (or will this now be called another "weird case"...ignored? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] doc formatting oddity -- that, IMO, could use correction
by Linda Walsh 18 May '13

18 May '13

Which software is doing this? The bash manpage has source: [\fBtime\fP [\fB\-p\fP]] [ ! ] \fIcommand\fP [ [\fB|\fP\(bv\fB|&\fP] \fIcommand2\fP ... ] that produces: [time [-p]] [ ! ] command [ [|⎪|&] command2 ... ] - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - ^ Which *may* look right on your display or not The char over my carat, that seems to be what "(bv" in the source is being mapped to, is a U+23AA, which is a full-height vertical line used in box-drawings. It stuck out because 2/3 of my displays showed a "�" or empty box for that char. It doesn't seem to be that common, not to mention *semantically incorrect*. It would be better, I think, if the software matched "(bv" to a presentation form for a vertical bar. Presuming that half-width is preferable over full-width, (though it may not make a difference, now that I think about it) to use U+FFE8, "￨" -- a half-width light vertical bar that is taller than 0x7f (at least in the fonts I am seeing it with). Putting the logical or in the middle with the halfwidth vertical light on either side of it: looks like (with a few repeats): "￨|￨￨|￨￨|￨￨|￨". Is that SW troff or nroff or what? Is that something that is configured upstream? tnx... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
