[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.

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

[opensuse-packaging] Quilt setup fails with factory spec files
by Andras Mate 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi list, I get some error everytime while extracting the content of source rpm packages from opensuse-factory. I'm using quilt to extract and patch the packages and the same command which works fine on 10.2 packages (quilt setup $SPECFILE) fails on the packages from factory. And the error comes everytime from the same line: "%files lang -f %{name}.lang". An example with the mc package (10.2: 4.6.1-56; 10.3: 4.6.1.135): ===== 10.2: mc/102> quilt setup mc.spec ### md5sum: .....................b......... ### rpmbuild: tpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp Unpacking archive ./mc-4.6.1.tar.bz2 10.3: mc/103> quilt setup mc.spec ### md5sum: .......................b........... ### rpmbuild: The %prep section of mc.spec failed; results may be incomplete 10.3 in verbose mode: mc/103> quilt setup mc.spec -v ... error: Unknown option ? in verify_permissions(:-:) error: line 254: Package does not exist: %files lang -f mc.lang The %prep section of mc.spec failed; results may be incomplete ===== The main difference between the two spec file is in %files section.

Or do I need some other additional packages to install if I want work with factory packages? Or a newer version of quilt is needed?

[opensuse-packaging] opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org
by Dan Stromberg 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Hi folks. I'm trying to package up a Linus kernel to be used during an autoyast install as the primary kernel for the OS. I have a kernel-source*.rpm built, and I have a kernel-*.rpm built, and I can rpm -ivh them OK. The kernel-*.rpm was easy, but the kernel-source*.rpm was kind of hard - at least by the way I did it. For the kernel-source*.rpm, I started with an openSUSE kernel-source*.rpm, hacked out anything unnecessary-looking, and put in my desired kernel. After much tweaking, it seems to be working - but is there an easier way? Anyway, here's the heart of my question, why I'm posting: I'm not sure what's supposed to update /boot/grub/menu.lst. I know it's happened once for my RPM's, because I can look back in my tty logs and see that it was updated when I cat'd the menu.lst once, but when I rpm -ivh my new RPM's now, menu.lst isn't getting updated. What is supposed to update menu.lst, and what makes it decide when to make a kernel the new default kernel? Also, what is supposed to update the symlinks under /boot? Are these questions better posed on the opensuse-kernel mailing list?

[opensuse-packaging] proposal: comment upgrade protection in spec files
by Stanislav Brabec 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hallo. I want to propose commenting of upgrade protection commands and provides/obsoletes in the spec file and related scripts. If it is not done, it is very complicated to be able to check, whether upgrade protection is still needed or it is completely obsolete. Yes, we may keep these lines in the spec files forever, but it taints our spec files, makes them less readable and sometimes even slower. Proposed: # Name was used in <=OpenSUSE10 and <=SLES10: Provide: oldfoo Obsoletes: oldfoo Quick look at our spec files shows that we have lots of protections for S.u.S.E. Linux 6.2 (1999) -> OpenSUSE 10.3 (2007), but I guess that is is more obsolete than sufficient. Few examples: bibview: Provides: bibvw15 * Fri Jul 14 2000 - werner(a)suse.de - fix bug in annotation handling with update to bibview 2.2 dante: # SuSE series: sec Provides: dantesrv Obsoletes: dantesrv * Mon Dec 04 2000 - mge(a)suse.de - update to 1.1.6, new /etc/init.d handling, long RPM names dx: Provides: dxdata Obsoletes: dxdata * Wed Nov 29 2000 - smid(a)suse.cz - subpackages renamed: dxdoc => dx-doc; dxdata => dx-data ... -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)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-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Next Steps openSUSE 10.3
by Stephan Kulow 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi! Just an heads up for the next steps in 10.3 development. Beta 3 was released and has shown still quite some problems. I went through most of the critical+blocker bugs and tried to check if some can be downgraded - unfortunately that wasn't too successful. So there is still plenty to do. So please everyone check and update your release critical bugs. A little reminder: after beta2 we're in "Only major/critical/blocker bugfixes allowed.". Taking that I still see version updates submitted, I don't think everyone knows. I know that every missed version hurts, but we have to draw the line somewhere and we drew it end of august. So please spend your valuable time in testing and fixing what we have instead of enhancing it. Three more things: * The next milestone is friday, Sep 14. After that we're working straight towards RC1, which means after that only fixes for blocker bugs are checked in. So make sure you have your updates for critical and major submitted then. * Every change entry needs to have a bugzilla entry. If there is no bug for a change you think needs to be done, create one assigned to yourself and CC me. * Bugs that won't be fixed for 10.3 can be moved to 11.0 in bugzilla now. I suggest to take that option for every bug you're not planning to do an online update later (should be a minority of the current bugs).

Hi Packagers, we added a way to our debuginfo macro to overwrite the standard Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} that gets put into the debuginfo package. You can overwrite it by defining %debug_package_requires, e.g.: - require another package as well: %define debug_package_requires %{name} = %{version}-%{release} perl-debuginfo - require just the version: %define debug_package_requires %{name} = %{version} - require something else: %define debug_package_requires gdb Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Markus Rex, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Announce: Vala and python-krbV
by Michel Salim 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

I have ported my Fedora packaging of Vala for openSUSE, and in order to be able to use both the openSUSE Build Service and Fedora's koji from my openSUSE machine, have also ported Fedora's python-krbV (as well as koji itself). Vala, which is a compiler for a C#-style language that compiles down to GObject C code (or optionally straight to native code), might be of interest; with permission I'd like to add it to GNOME:Community. Is anyone interested in making use of python-krbV? There's a Python repository in the OBS, what are the criteria for adding packages there? Thanks, -- Michel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] %fdupes
by Stephan Kulow 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hi! We did some analysis on how much space is wasted by packages storing the same file twice (or more). While few packages waste megabytes (only 88 waste more than 1000Mib), 657 waste more than 20K - which sums up to 703MiB in total. Impressed? Consider using fdupes in your package. It's pretty simple: BuildRequire fdupes and then use "%fdupes $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" in your install section. This will check for duplicated files and make them hardlink. Just be careful that these duplicated files do not end up in different subpackages - I haven't tried what rpm does in that case. But you can also use %fdupes -s, which will create symlinks, which are easier to grasp for rpm :) So you can also combine this like this # create symlinks for my man pages %fdupes -s $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_mandir # create hardline for the rest %fdupes $RPM_BUILD_ROOT I also added an rpmlint check that will give an error for the package if it's wasting more than 20KB (which is basically a random number).
