[opensuse-gnome] New GConf2 RPM macros for older products in GNOME:Community
As the subject says, I've added a package that adds the new RPM macros that Stanislav has created for 10.3+ to GNOME:Community. This provides the same macros for 10.2 and older. Simply add this to your spec file and you can use roughly the same spec file across the versions: %if %suse_version <= 1020 BuildRequires gconf2-rpm-macros %endif If you include this within the %if statement then the spec file will normally be exactly the same throughout with no more %suse_version checks required %define _prefix /opt/gnome %define _sysconfdir /etc%_prefix Of course, there will be some exceptions to that but not many :) -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for doing it. Warnings: 1) It will not work with older RPM versions (< SuSE 10.0), which does not implement %posttrans. I see no possible work-around for it. 2) "rpm --test" will not work properly in OpenSUSE <= 10.2 - %posttrans was called even in test mode: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235361 A work-around can be: %post touch /var/adm/%name-rpm_post_called %posttrasn # Verify, that the script is not called by mistake in test mode (#235361): if test -f /var/adm/%name-rpm_post_called rm /var/adm/%name-rpm_post_called ... fi -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@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@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Scratched an itch ;)

We don't support such products any more anyway and certainly don't build for them in the Build Service.
2) "rpm --test" will not work properly in OpenSUSE <= 10.2 A work-around can be:
I'll put this work-around in - thanks.

Sorry, did you mean these could go in the macros file or in individual specs? -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Into macros. Scriptlet was only example, it's doable in macros, even if it can be more complicated. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@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@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
