[opensuse-factory] ownCloud Client in Tumbleweed
Hi, I would finally like to maintain the packages of the ownCloud sync client for openSUSE Tumbleweed in the openSUSE repos rather than in "our" repo isv:ownCloud:desktop. I hope that is appreciated. Here are some questions: 1. Is the spec file as in isv:ownCloud:desktop [1] acceptable for tumbleweed? It is a multi-distro spec file and a bit cluttered by the %if statements. If it should be cleaned, is there a magic command to output it after the %ifs have been resolved? 2. Wouldn't it be easiest to have isv:ownCloud:desktop as a devel project for it? Is that doable? 3. We could do a bit of theming of the client (mainly icons) to make it more openSUSE branded. If there is interest, who could help doing that, as my design skills are ...not that big. Anything else to consider? regards, Klaas [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/isv:ownCloud:desktop/owncloud-c... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Very much so! I think it will be a great addition to have it in the main repository.
Here are some questions:
1. Is the spec file as in isv:ownCloud:desktop [1] acceptable for tumbleweed? It is a multi-distro spec file and a bit cluttered by the %if statements. If it should be cleaned, is there a magic command to output it after the %ifs have been resolved?
Being multi-dist aware is not a problem for the .spec file in openSUSE; of course you might get community contributions that are not always taking care of non-openSUSE specialities; but that would be up to the maintainer team to handle and adjust. Then, there are a couple rpmlint warnings that would be really nice to get out of the way... part of the normal review process basically: owncloud-client.x86_64: W: standard-dir-owned-by-package /etc That really should not be owned.. you can put as many files/directories in it as you want.. libowncloudsync0.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-nonversioned-dir /usr/lib64/owncloud => there seems to be a second, private library in this directory. If you ensure that this one follows the sonum changes of the main library you're safe. Basically, you have to consider what would happen if /usr/lib64/libwoncloudsync.so.0 changes ABI, you're forced to name it *.so.1; what happens to the private library? Will it stay compatible? Will it change it's name in sync? Then you're fine. If it does not change the name together with the main lib, you have an issue: libowncloudsync0 and libowncloudsync1 would not be allowed to be parallel installed, which is a requirement for the shared libraries. libowncloudsync0.x86_64: W: file-contains-date-and-time /usr/lib64/libowncloudsync.so.2.0.2 Build date and time generally give you very few information in debugging. I can build an old tree in five years. But more annoyingly: it stops OBS from seeing that a build did not change and OBS can't discard it, so it will have to publish it over and over. And a side note: this warning actually also shows that the name libowncloudsync0 is not an appropriate name for this library package (it should be libowncloudsync2)
2. Wouldn't it be easiest to have isv:ownCloud:desktop as a devel project for it? Is that doable?
That's certainly doable - and I think in the case where an isv is actively doing the maintenance, also the right thing to do.
3. We could do a bit of theming of the client (mainly icons) to make it more openSUSE branded. If there is interest, who could help doing that, as my design skills are ...not that big.
Maybe reach out to the artwork team (opensuse-artwork@opensuse.org); then can do things which we can't.

Sure, I will work on that to get that resolved, but that will take a bit of time. I will get back to here if I get stuck somewhere. Thanks for the hints so far!

Ok, cool, that makes it easier for us.

All right, will do. Thanks, Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
