All,

I'm trying to package the Google Cups Cloud Proxy Printer

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:gregfreemyer:branches:home:sbra...

The failed builds report:

[ 147s] error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: [ 147s] /usr/share/cloudprint-cups/auth.pyc [ 147s] /usr/share/cloudprint-cups/ccputils.pyc ... You could try manually creating the .pyc files in the %install section so they will always be there. You should be able to use "python -m compileall %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/cloudprint-cups/" to generate the .pyc files.

Thank you, that seems to have fixed it.

I assume .pyc files are not architecture independent so that a package that contains .pyc files cannot be "noarch".

When I am right, "BuildArch: noarch" must be removed from OBS home:gregfreemyer:branches:home:sbrabec/CUPS-Cloud-Print/CUPS-Cloud-Print.spec

I am not at all a Python expert. Nevertheless I think it is not the right solution to compile Python files during build time in the build system environment. I think Python is meant to be compiled as needed on each end-user's system in his particular environment. Therefore I think RPMs with Python software should not contain compiled Python stuff but only the sources.

FYI: In general regarding .pyc (and perhaps .pyo) files: I have a RPM package (hplip) that contains many .py files. When python created the .pyc files those files do not belong to the RPM which means plain removing the RPM would leave its .pyc files on the system. Therefore I have a RPM preun script that removes the .pyc files. I need a simple generic method because I do not have the time to maintain a long list of individual files via RPM ghost, see Printing/hplip/hplip.spec If this is not the right way how to make a RPM with Python software, I appreciate a submitrequest from a Python expert that actually does it in the right way. Note that it must also "just work" for SLE11, see "osc results Printing hplip".

Kind Regards Johannes Meixner

You're wrong. A large part of python packages provided in openSUSE are byte-compiled during build time. Regards. Benjamin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
