[opensuse-factory] gnome-menus update coming to openSUSE:Factory

Hi all, First, sorry for x-posting, but the topic addresses really both. I just prepared updates of gnome-menus in GNOME:Factory. Nothing special so far. Unfortunately, gnome-menus 3.1.5 is ABI and API incompatible to the existing gnome-menus (v 3.0.1) which we currently have in Factory. And as there are more consumers than only GNOME packages, I feel you should all be aware of the upcoming change. Especially as some packages might fail a build with the update if o precautions are taken. In order to avoid any big disruption, I submitted gnome-menus 3.0.1 as a new package, gnome-menus-legacy, to openSUSE:Factory. This will provide a devel package and the shared library, so that your app will keep on working. Of course, the -devel package has a different name, and as such it depends on your .spec file if there is work needed from your side or not. If you have a BuildRequires: gnome-menus-devel, then you do have to act and change this to BuildRequires: pkgconfig(libgnome-menu). This will ensure that even though the package is renamed, you get the right -devel file on your system. for the end user, gnome-menu 3.1.5 and 3.0.1 have differen library names and as such are parallel installable. The other subpackages are weirdly named but are not important for your packages. An update of those willt ransparently happen (gnome-menus-editor for example). A full list of package in Factory depending on gnome-menus can be found in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712674 Best regards, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
