[opensuse-gnome] automatic BuildRequires and Requires
by Stanislav Brabec 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hallo. I am just starting to work on my idea of automatic generating of devel BuildRequires and Requires. The goal is: - Increase quality of packages preventing unwanted failed checks and consequent building of feature stripped packages. - Drop obsolete dependencies (now added manually, removed after bug report) 1) As I wrote in past, I created a pkg-buildrequires package, which should help with automatic generating of BuildRequires. 2) Next idea would be automatic creating of devel Requires/Provides using information provided by pkg-config files. 1) Package pkg-buildrequires with a simple documentation is available for download from OBS home:sbrabec. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Asbrabec&package=pkg-… I just started to experiment with pkg-buildrequires it in OBS GNOME:UNSTABLE repository with it. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=GNOME%3AUNSTABLE There is still a lot of failures, but low level packages (glib2, cairo, pango) are already built using pkg-buildrequires. It creates BuildRequires automatically in following form compatible with RPM: BuildRequires: list of packages added manually #BEGIN pkg-buildrequires # Created by pkg-buildrequires. Do not edit by hand. BuildRequires: list of packages added by pkg-buildrequires %define pkg_buildrequires_checksum b49abeb28e08721413a59a3d53324613 %define pkg_buildrequires_unknown_checksum cb977b8752a03a75a077316c2efdd439 #END pkg-buildrequires One checksum includes all needed packages. If the list changes, special type of failure will happen. It can be detected, BuildRequires automatically updated and package built again. Second (optional) checksum sums list of all failed pkg-config checks and its presence should confirm, that packager reviewed all failed checks and confirms, that it is correct. If this number changes, user will be notified to take manual action (i. e. add missing package, rebuild and update values). Currently I have no idea, how to do it better and still stay RPM compatible (i. e. in one step). 2) Second idea would require modification of %find_provides and %find_requires to provide/require symbols like PC(libIDL-2.0), which could create devel dependency chain automatically. I see no chance to convert these symbols to package names - if you are building two devel packages from one spec file, there is no way to generate dependencies between them - script does not know file lists of other sub-packages. I plan to extend my experiments in GNOME:UNSTABLE with this (not yet written) script. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] RFC: Slab Properties Dialog
by Magnus Boman 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

G'day folks! AlbertoP was kind enough to create a properties dialog box for the GNOME Main Menu. He uploaded some screenshots [1] of it and we would like to hear what you think about it. Please post your comments/ideas/thoughts either on the wiki or reply to this email. Once we agree on the layout etc, I will try to implement it (no promises of success though) [2] :-) Thanks, Magnus [1]: http://en.opensuse.org/Redesign_of_GNOME_main_menu_and_application_browser [2]: http://en.opensuse.org/User:MBoman/Slab#Properties_editor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Broken screensaver
by Rodrigo Moya 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi I think lots of people were hit by https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=341113 in the last update. I just submitted a fix, but if you can't wait, 10.3 packages are at http://www.gnome.org/~rodrigo/rpms/304399/ . They should work for FACTORY also ('rpm -Uvh --force' to allow the "version" downgrade), so if you install them, please let me know if they work or not for you. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
