[opensuse-kde] Call for testing: Cross-distro building of KDE packages in OBS
Hello, I'm looking for people who'd be interested in testing a tool that helps packaging applications in the build service. If you have no experience with packaging, that's not an excuse but a perfect qualification :). Comments from people who do have experience are valued too. http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Build_Service/Cross-distro has a HOWTO explaining the process. It is not very extensive, it's right to the point, but I hope it's sufficient. In case there are problems, try consulting http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service or other wiki pages, or ask. I have packaged a couple of various KDE apps in home:llunak:kdetest, including the tool used for this itself, so it is possible to use those as a reference. There are no manual modifications to any of those packages besides providing INFO file if necessary. If you are interested, follow the HOWTO and try to package e.g. something from kde-apps.org or kde-look.org . I'd be especially interested in: - various build and packaging errors caused by the tool (there is also the possibility that the application tarball itself is broken) - wrong or missing mapping of package names (e.g. from the tarball to package names or between distributions) - any other problems that would hinder the usage of the tool for easy packaging of KDE apps Please mention the project and package name if you report any problems (report them simply as replies here). The tool is not perfect (nor can it be), so it is aimed to be used only for the initial package creation. It is possible to manually modify the generated files afterwards. I intend to create another tool to also help doing e.g. version updates.

Okidoki I found time to try it out and like the result. As Synaptiks was floating by in #opensuse-kde I just used this to check the result, link: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=synaptiks&project=home%3Aremur%3Akde- obs-test As someone who used osc and the webfrontend I found it very easy to use, still as I said in IRC the back and forth jumping in the tutorial are somewhat confusing, I got it like "osc can't create a project yet", even though I totally understand we want people to see the web interface. The failures on the older distribution releases are related to an outdated XInput as far as I understand it, nothing to be done I guess, maybe ask people to disable building for targets where there is no chance of success to be nice to the obs =) The ubuntu failure is happening before the CMake run, the more important parts: dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2 dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value: dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2 dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2 parsechangelog/debian: warning: debian/changelog(l5): badly formatted trailer line LINE: -- remur@gmx.net Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:33:38 +0100 parsechangelog/debian: warning: debian/changelog(l6): found start of entry where expected more change data or trailer LINE: synaptiks (0.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low parsechangelog/debian: warning: debian/changelog(l6): found eof where expected more change data or trailer Use of uninitialized value $v in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Fields.pm line 246, <STDIN> line 6.

Hmm yeah I tried looking through the build file, I forgot the error could be way up. /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/synaptiks-0.3.2/src/daemon/synaptiksdaemon.cpp: In member function 'void synaptiks::SynaptiksDaemon::notifyError(const QString&) const': /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/synaptiks-0.3.2/src/daemon/synaptiksdaemon.cpp:253: error: 'class KNotification' has no member named 'setTitle' Well looks like it's just incompatible with Mandriva 2009.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I have no idea where this comes from, but I'd expect it to be harmless.

Then it must be the packager name missing above, can you please check?

Argh, I used my existing build service account and just skipped that, it indeed produced the error for the debian/ubuntu build I guess build will always fail when there is no maintainer name set, so maybe turn this from warning to error?

After setting the maintainer name the other warnings persisted

Yes, now it fails differently:

No idea if it is a general obs debian problem or specific to the generated debian build files
Mandriva 2009.1 failure I don't understand at all.
Try: export CXXFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -Wno-format-security" Mandriva added then dropped this as a default compile option.
The other builds with recent xorg and rpm succeeded just fine and could be linked on kde-apps.org
So thumbs up for your work Lubos, this is a great way to show off opensuse infrastructure to the kde world =)
