Re: [opensuse-gnome] Pidgin
Can you keep replies on-list please?
what's the name of the pidgin package? i just made a quick search on the webpin project website, and it returned no results, and did you make it so it can automatically update gaim-unstable?
It's called pidgin. Is there some latency on webpin perhaps? Haven't made it automatically update yet but I intend to once I'm satisfied it's relatively stable (seems to be so far). -- 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
Pidgin 2.0.0 final is due tomorrow, would it be okay to make it replace gaim as well as gaim-unstable in GNOME:Community with a view to it going into Factory for 10.3? -- 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

Sounds good to me, worst that happens is we don't move it into Factory. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Is the best way to do this to add something like this to the spec file: Provides: gaim = %version-%release Obsoletes: gaim Or is there some spec-file-foo for saying it upgrades a differently named package that I'm not aware of? -- 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

Nope, that should be it. See ekiga for an example. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

It might also be a good idea to add "Conflicts: gaim < [some version]" so that you can't also install an older version of gaim, which would probably fail because of file conflicts at install-time.

Okay, pidgin 2.0.0 (final) is now in G:C (2.0.0-39.1 for distro versions 10.1 and upwards to Factory) and it *should*, all being well, automagically upgrade gaim to itself. -- 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

No. If you use Obsoletes, Conflict is not needed. Obsoletes means: install this package and remove obsoleted package. And when it is used improperly (not this case) in combination with Provides, it's easy to create a package, which conflicts with itself. -- 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

That's correct, it does mean this, but without Conflicts, you can have this situation: (1) gaim installed (2) install pidgin; because of Obsoletes, gaim is removed. (3) install gaim; because there is no Conflicts, it will attempt to install. If there are file conflicts, you get them at install-time rather than a sane error at dep solve-time. Otherwise, it will isntall and you have both. There are lots of reasons why (3) could happen: solving dependencies for another package, the user didn't know that gaim and pidgin were the same thing, etc. As for the package which conflicts with itself, I think this is the reason to have the versioned Conflicts. Ie, you provide pidgin = %{version} and gaim =%{version} and conflict gaim < 2.0.0.
