[opensuse-factory] Is it possible to use a DUD file as yast add-on product input ?

by Normand

I have a DUD file previously generated by mkdud tool, and I am able to pass it either in a modified install iso or passed as DUD=xxx boot parameter to handle it during install phase. BUT, is it possible to use the DUD file as input for Yast add-on on an already installed machine ? I did not found an obvious way in yast add-on menu. -- Michel Normand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] verifying OBS builds

by Bernhard M. Wiedemann

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, now that my efforts in reproducible builds for openSUSE have come pretty far [1], I tried to reproduce the official Factory binaries. This already found https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1100488 However, I already encountered one major difficulty. E.g. when building zypper locally and comparing it to the official binary I get Comparing zypper-1.14.6-1.1.x86_64.rpm to zypper-1.14.6-1.1.x86_64.rpm comparing the rpm tags of zypper - -libzypp 12 17.3.1 +libzypp 12 17.4.0 plus some related asm diffs. The problem comes from 'osc meta prj openSUSE:Factory' having <repository name="standard" rebuild="local"> [2] says, this means that when zypper was checked in 15 days ago, it was built with the then-current libzypp-17.3.1 . When libzypp was updated 10 days ago, zypper was not rebuilt. But there are no libzypp-17.3.1 packages available anymore in OBS, so reproducing the original zypper rpm from 15d ago is impossible. What would be the downsides of a rebuild="direct" ? Probably more Factory package rebuilds, more updated rpms shipped to Tumbleweed users using more bandwidth. Not so desirable. Another approach would be to keep old rpms around like with the tumbleweed snapshots from boombatower, but using those in a local osc build is currently hard. And we probably will need to use the _buildenv files to find out the exact versions used for the official build. I could also try to have my scripts rebuild packages that were just updated, so that differences in build dependencies are small. But that is not so much in the spirit of reproducible builds allowing to get identical build output at any time (and on any machine). Are there other ways to approach this? TIA for your input on this topic. Ciao Bernhard M.

[opensuse-factory] Update deps for texlive-biber

by Chris Coutinho

Hello, I recently installed a fresh copy of Tumbleweed and tried to compile a TeX document that contains a bibliography, for which I need to use the `texlive-biber` package. Apparently, after some investigation I found out that the new version of this package now requires the `perl-File-Slurper` package to function properly - even trying to determine the package version from the command line fails because the package can't be found. How can I inform the package maintainer that the new dependency needs to be added? Regards, Chris

[opensuse-factory] Binutils 2.31

by Larry Finger

Adrian, In binutils 2.31, relocation type R_X86_64_PLT32 for 32-bit PC-relative branches has been enabled. With this change, VirtualBox VMs fail to start. The kernel fix is in commit b21ebf2fb4cde16, and a similar fix is available for VB in the VB Developers Mailing List and has been applied to Debian unstable. Is this new version of binutils in the pipeline for TW? If not, I will allow the normal Oracle update process to get the fix, probably in VB 5.2.16, which will likely be realeased in about 2 months. Should I push a new version of VB with this fix to Factory?

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Plasma Desktop freezes frequently.

by Manvendra Bhangui

Just days back I migrated to Tumbleweed from Leap 42.2. I have been have this frequent issue when the GUI becomes unresponsive. All I can do is to move the mouse pointer. However I can login to the host using ssh and reboot the system and that's how I get my pc running. My Graphics card is NVIDIA Geforce GT 710. The TV is connected to the PC through an HDMI cable. I am using the native Nouveau driver. Not sure if it due to this but it has always happened when using ProjectM visualization in Clementine Music player. I never had this problem when using Leap 42.2. Also I have FC27 in another drive on the same PC. This freezing never happens with FC27 too. Each time it happens, this is what I see in the logs. What do you think is happening?

[opensuse-factory] OpenSLP and package openldap2

by Michael Ströder

HI! Given recent OpenSLP security issue I wonder whether package openldap2 should still be linked with OpenSLP. IMO the OpenSLP projects seems pretty dead and I suspect there might be more issues in that lib. I've sent an inquiry about this to openldap-technical mailing list a couple of days ago: --------------------------- snip --------------------------- Is anybody here using OpenSLP with OpenLDAP libs to locate LDAP directory servers? I never used it and I only vaguely remember that Novell eDirectory instances was announced via SLP. But I don't know of any clients supporting that and therefore I wonder whether Linux distros should package OpenLDAP with SLP support. --------------------------- snip --------------------------- The only response was from the Debian maintainer. They dropped SLP support in 2015: https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201807/msg00027.html Ciao, Michael.

[opensuse-factory] Advise needed on update-alternatives

by Axel Braun

Hi, we had some days ago a discussion on how to prevent postgres10 installation, as postgres96 is required: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2018-06/msg00033.html The solution at that time, adding conflicts for postgres10, worked, but broke the openQA testing. So I went for adding update-alternatives --set postgresql /usr/lib/postgresql96 to the post-section of the spec-file This is objected by the maintenance team, see http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1096706 as '...consumer packages should be allowed to change the alternative selection for another package just so they can deal with them.' An idea would be to call postgres96 directly, but that is not an alternative, as the package just calls uri = postgresql://username:password@host:port/ and listens to what comes back. [setting up a different port for postgres96 is an expert solution that I would not consider here] As we have some more packages that cant deal with postgres10 (akonadi...) I feel that setting update-alternatives to postgres96 is a viable solution. Please share your opinion Thanks Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the weeks 2018/27 & 28

by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, During the last two weeks, there has been a quite constant flow of Tumbleweed snapshots – despite SUSE folks being occupied with hackweek. To cut through the case: Weeks 27 & 28 delivered a total of 9 snapshots (0628, 0629, 0701, 0702, 0703, 0704, 0707, 0709 and 0710) The relevant updates in overview: * Linux kernel 4.17.3 & 4.17.4 * bcm43xx-firmware added support for BCM 4356 PCI devices * KDE Plasma 5.13.2 * fwupdate 11: new support for Lenovo devices * FFmpeg 4.0.1 * Many yast updates, containing translated keywords * Mozilla Firefox 61.0 * LibreOffice 6.1.0 (beta2) * Mesa 18.1.3 * coreutils 8.30 * emacs 26.1 * squid 4.1 The following things are either already in a snapshot work-in-progress or will hopefully be added soon: * Linux kernel 4.17.5 (and newer) * file 5.33: beware: it now detects PI-Executables correctly, no longer identifies them just as shared objects. * LibreOffice 6.1.0 final version * KDE Plasma 5.13.3 * X.Org 1.12 (still needs some love) * poppler 0.66 (as usual, texlive and cups-filters are the prominent consumers failing) * Preparations for Java 11 as the default java compiler cheers, Dominique

[opensuse-factory] Question about usage of the svn command

by stakanov

If I want to run: svn co https://github.com/liosha/osm2mp osm2mp on e.g. Leap or also TW, do I have to run the command as root (with sudo) or do I run it as user? What would be the consequence running it as user? I suppose, if it is possible, that I may not work at all. But if it would be restricted to that specific user it would be O.k. The whole thing is a converter script in perl that should transform gps data to a garmin/tomtom etc compatible format. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
