[opensuse-packaging] kernel-*.spec fixed strings are no fun
by Jan Engelhardt 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi, the kernel-*.spec files contain a lot of hardcoded strings, such as 2.6.22.1 for what's currently cooking. This causes a major pain when trying to bump the version by oneself. All occurrences need to be replaced by more-or-less blunt scripts (simple perl -pe 's///'), since the .in files are not available. If these could please be added to the kernel-source pack, that would greatly simplify work. Moreover, I think that strings, where possible, should be replaced by rpm tags. For example this obvious one: Provides: kernel = 2.6.22.1-%source_rel (and other places) this can easily be replaced by %version-%source_rel. The other major thing being Name: kernel-default (and other places of course) which could be replaced - since the macro is already there - by Name: kernel-%build_flavor thanks, Jan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] 10.3 updates
by Stephan Kulow 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi! I would like to mention it explicitly even though I expect everyone to figure it out: Factory is no longer 10.3. So you have to remember to submit a package into both 10.3 and Factory/STABLE if you do an update for 10.3 We will wait with changing Factory a bit though to not put too much traffic on the mirrors.

[opensuse-packaging] My osc won't authenticate
by Federico Mena Quintero 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi, everyone, I just installed osc on openSUSE 10.3; the first run asked me for my username/password, so I gave it what I use for the openSUSE wiki and bugzilla.novell.com. However, it doesn't want to authenticate :( I turned on http_debug in the config file. Attached is what osc prints. Does anyone know what may be wrong? [I just built my first package with the build service's web interface --- it's *really* nice!] Thanks in advance, Federico

[opensuse-packaging] xorg73 repository
by Rafał Miłecki 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi, I wanted to update my openSUSE 10.3 RC1's Xorg to the newest stable version which is 7.3 currently. So I added: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/xorg73/openSUSE_10.3/ repository using YaST and maked update of Xorg. Then I compared Xorg -version output: linux-5wri:~ # Xorg -version X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: Sat Sep 15 00:09:03 UTC 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux linux-5wri 2.6.22.5-23-default #1 SMP 2007/09/18 05:23:45 UTC i686 Build Date: 15 September 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present linux-5wri:~ # Xorg -version X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: Fri Sep 21 14:49:55 UTC 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux linux-5wri 2.6.22.5-23-default #1 SMP 2007/09/18 05:23:45 UTC i686 Build Date: 21 September 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present So update was succesfully, but so called "xorg73" seems to be 7.2 really, not 7.3. Could someone check this repository and make it contain 7.3 version of Xorg, please? -- Rafał Miłecki

[opensuse-packaging] Handling license symlinks
by Christian Boltz 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hello, creating the symlink to licenses in the licenses package is curently done by including a small script in each spec file, like: for FILE in COPYING copyright.txt ; do MD5SUM=$(md5sum $FILE | sed 's/ .*//') if test -f /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/$MD5SUM ; then ln -sf /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/$MD5SUM $FILE fi done This is error-prone (see bug 306681) and adds lots of duplicated code to the spec files. Please add a small script to the licenses package or create a rpm macro that creates the symlink. If the rpm macro could also drop in a "Requires: licenses", it would be even better. The specfile should then contain commands like (replacing the example above): %symlink_license COPYING %symlink_license copyright.txt Oh, and please do this ASAP, before more package(r)s include the script in the spec file ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- 31.8.-3.9.2007: Weinfest und Jubiläum 1225 Jahre Insheim Pig Slip, Hifi-Delity, Human Fact, Frank Petersen und die Söhne Insheims spielen bei der Landjugend.

[opensuse-packaging] GCC 4.3 transition and fallout in your packages
by Richard Guenther 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

The upcoming transition to GCC 4.3 will cause some common problems in C and C++ source to become compile-time errors. You investigate if your Factory package is affected by looking at the home:dirkmueller:playground:gcc43 project which is currently rebuilding (most of) Factory with GCC 4.3. Common problems include: 1) Missing includes. The include dependencies of the standard library headers were cleaned up a lot and a lot less unneeded dependencies are pulled in. This results in errors like Geometry.cpp: In member function 'const Magick::Geometry& Magick::Geometry::operator=(const std::string&)': Geometry.cpp:191: error: 'strcpy' was not declared in this scope make[3]: *** [Geometry.lo] Error 1 which hints at that you should include <cstring>, the C++ standard include name of the C string.h header. The rule of thumb is to look in which C header the missing function is in and then include the C++ variant which has a 'c' prepended and the '.h' stripped off. This is 90% of all errors we currently see with C++ programs. 2) There are extra warnings with GCC 4.3 and you use -Werror. You simply need to fix them. 3) More picky preprocessor: main.cpp:182:7: error: extra tokens at end of #endif directive the preprocessor diagnoses #endif foo use #endif /* foo */ instead. 4) C99 inline semantics changes. If you use 'extern inline foo(....' in headers and build with either -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 then you will probably face linker errors complaining about duplicate symbols. If you want to fix this in a way that is compatible with GCC 4.3 and previous versions use something like the following: extern inline #ifdef __GNU_STDC_INLINE__ __attribute__((__gnu_inline__)) #endif foo(.... which will preserve the previous semantics. If you do not care about compatibility with older GCC and want to use C99 semantics simply remove the 'extern' qualifier on inline functions defined in headers. 5) If you see something like /usr/include/zypp/Bit.h:86: error: declaration of 'typedef struct zypp::bit::MaxBits<_IntT> zypp::bit::Range<_IntT, _begin, _size>::MaxBits' /usr/include/zypp/Bit.h:52: error: changes meaning of 'MaxBits' from 'struct zypp::bit::MaxBits<_IntT>' you did something like template <class T> struct Foo : public FooBar<T> { typedef Foo::FooBar<T> FooBar; ... this is invalid C++. Use a different typedef-name here: typedef Foo::FooBar<T> FooBar_t; --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
