[opensuse-factory] cdemu
Hi, Would there be any interest in including http://cdemu.sourceforge.net into the distro? I've packaged it in my home project home:ajohansson:cdemu and I've been playing with it for a few hours, and it seems really useful. One step above loopback devices, in that the whole system thinks the ISO image is a real CD/DVD, and it handles multiple formats What's the opinion here? I could volunteer to maintain it if it's accepted Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Looks usefull so +1 from me. I guess the first step you will have to do is to find a "develproject" for it to live in first, and then submit it to factory from there. Had a look at your homeproject, would you mind enabling building for factory as well? I'd like to test it. //Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Done, thanks. I have only tested on 11.4 so far, I haven't gotten around to installing factory yet (-ENOHARDWARE) Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, you can set KDE to automount a CD/DVD, and that would apply to this as well, since as far as KDE knows, this looks just like any real CD/DVD Any suggestions on which devel project I should bother with a submit request?

I just added a service menu to the python-cdemu-client package, so when you install it you will have "emulate cd drive" as a right-click "action" for ISO images. When you use it, you'll get the normal KDE "new disc" popup, for opening it in a file browser or playing in a music player or whatever And if you "eject" it from the normal KDE GUI, it becomes "unloaded" in the cdemu sense, so it looks to me like a perfect integration The only non-usable thing I can see about this, is that it might be a bit hidden inside the "action" menu, but then again that is true for everything in there Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Or at least I thought I had. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. In %install I have mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus mv %{S:1} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ and in %files I have /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/cdemu_emulate_drive.desktop The %install step executes correctly, but then I get + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-hook error: Bad file: /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/cdemu_emulate_drive.desktop: No such file or directory Well, yes, it's not there, and it's not what I have in %files either. I'm not sure I understand what it wants from me Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I changed it to install -D and now it works. Maybe moving the file means it can't be found when rpm wants to create the src.rpm Anyway, the build that just completed contains a service menu that works well for me, build 1.4.0-9.1. I actually think this is the most usable way I've seen of working with iso images Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Anders This sounds exactly like what I had in mind. Perfect. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I'd pick one between: filesystems, hardware, utilities and devel:openSUSE:Factory. Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
