I am looking for an excelently written sample spec file for opensuse with the following characteristics: 1) uses gtkmm and gnomemm. 2) has a .desktop file. 3) uses auto* tools. 4) otherwise fairly simple Also I would like to understand %gconf_schemas_prereq What does this macro do? Where is it documented? Thank You. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

Whoever is maintainer of VirtualBox in: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ VirtualBox-kmp-default-1.4.0_2.6.18.2_34-20.1.i586.rpm and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_10.2_Update/i586/ VirtualBox-kmp-default-1.4.0_2.6.18.8_0.3-20.1.i586.rpm the packages missing vboxdrv, which makes VirtualBox useless on openSUSE 10.2. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
