I think I've already handled this, I was suggested on opensuse-buildservice@ to create my own build repositories. I currently have 4 simple packages in home:llunak:kde that build and (mostly :) ) work on openSUSE, Fedora and Mandriva (with the same simple .spec file) and additionally also on Kubuntu (which is a bit of a pain for me).
I don't see the difference to a kde4-filesystem (or name it kde4-macros) package that writes a slightly different macros.kde4 file depending on the distro it was built against. I think it is also possible to set the prjconf depending on the distro you're building against (I know there is some %if conditional, several prjconfs useit).
So, I checked also Fedora and Mandriva, and I would like the list to be: %_kde4_prefix %{_prefix} %_kde4_bindir %{_bindir} %_kde4_libdir %{_libdir} %_kde4_modules %{_libdir}/kde4 %_kde4_libexecdir %{_libexecdir}/kde4 %_kde4_sysconfdir %{_sysconfdir} %_kde4_sharedir %{_prefix}/share/kde4 %_kde4_appsdir %{_kde4_sharedir}/apps %_kde4_configdir %{_kde4_sharedir}/config %_kde4_applicationsdir %{_kde4_prefix}/share/applications/kde4 %_kde4_servicesdir %{_kde4_sharedir}/services %_kde4_servicetypes %{_kde4_sharedir}/servicetypes %_kde4_iconsdir %{_kde4_prefix}/share/icons %_kde4_docdir %{_kde4_prefix}/share/doc %_kde4_sbindir %{_kde4_prefix}/sbin %_kde4_includedir %{_kde4_prefix}/include
I think that this is an excellent idea, and I like that cleanup very much.
Another inconsistency is %cmake_kde4. Both on Mandriva and Fedora they imply an out-of-source build, but we have to explicitly state '-d build'.
I think we can remove that, given that out-of-source build works with every package that I tried.
In relation to this, although not specific to cross-distro builds, I'd like to change %make_jobs to something like this: %make_jobs \ if test -d doc; then \ %(__make} %{_smp_mflags} -C doc \ fi \ %{__make} %{?jobs:-j %{jobs}} VERBOSE=1 \ %{nil}
Makes sense for me, and can't hurt. I don't know what %{_smp_mflags} is. wouldn't it be good enough to build it serially?
run into this issue when testing a package locally (OOM-murderer kicks in and you know how much I hate that bloody broken thing).
Sure. note that I tried to implement this already via icecream, assuming that you build via icecream. If not, you should </shameless plug>.
Comments, objections?
Go ahead. Let me know when I can help with the conversion. Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
