[opensuse-packaging] Owner and group ignored?
by Dan Stromberg 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

I have a spec file with: %files -f /tmp/datallegro-base-files-for-rpm ...and in /tmp/datallegro-base-files-for-rpm I have things like (for example) : %attr(664,ingres,ingres) /datallegro/CHANGES %dir %attr(775,ingres,ingres) /datallegro/bin %attr(775,ingres,ingres) /datallegro/bin/GetSOVersion %attr(4755,root,root) /datallegro/bin/PriorityServer %attr(775,ingres,ingres) /datallegro/bin/da_top ...but if I rpm2cpio the resulting rpm and pipe that into cpio -icvt, 100% of the files are under user root, group root. Also, the files in the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT are owned mostly by ingres - I can see that with ls. We need to package the rpm -as- root, but we don't want all the files to be owned /by/ root on the target system. Am I doing something wrong? Why are all these files coming up owned by root instead of by ingres? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] -lang packages and requirements
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi, I just stumbled over an issue while I was trying to strip down an installation. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351779 is about mc which consists of the main package mc and the language package mc-lang. mc-lang is created using the macro %lang_package as suggested in http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Packaging (The same is true for most (or all?) other packages which have a -lang subpackage.) But the issue I found is that mc.spec defines Requires: %{name}-lang = %{version} So that leaves two basic questions for me: What is the purpose of a sub-package if it is always hard required by the main package? And what I understood is the recommended (or even mandatory?) way to handle language package dependencies the one described here: http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Management/Dependencies/Language If that's correct I think that the %lang_package macro is useless since it doesn't define a locale provides. So what's the policy (or recommendation) actually?

[opensuse-packaging] Lack of "tsocks"?

Hi, I wanted to use tsocks to run application using ssh tunneling but I couldn't find this problem for openSUSE. I've checked DVD and buildservice. I think this program is really usefull and quite small to add it to openSUSE distribution. Could we make it for openSUSE 11? -- Rafał Miłecki

[opensuse-packaging] problem with spec file for kdepim3
by Rajko M. 04 Jan '08

I tried to build source package for kdepim and rpmbuild complained on missing dependencies. # rpmbuild -bs kdepim3.spec error: Failed build dependencies: pilot-link-devel is needed by kdepim3-3.5.7.enterprise.0.20070904.708012-9.i586 gpgme-devel is needed by kdepim3-3.5.7.enterprise.0.20070904.708012-9.i586 # zypper in pilot-link-devel gpgme-devel package 'pilot-link-devel' not found package 'gpgme-devel' not found I found replacements using YaST search for what provides them and installed them. After that source package was built without complains. # rpm -q --whatprovides pilot-link-devel gpgme-devel libpisock-devel-0.12.2-26 libgpgme-devel-1.1.5-31 I changed kdepim3.spec replacing nonexistant files with above 2. This is the 'diff -u' output: --- kdepim3.spec 2007-09-25 16:59:15.000000000 -0500 +++ kdepim3.spec-new 2007-12-31 14:51:35.000000000 -0600 @@ -18,10 +18,10 @@ BuildRequires: gnokii-devel %endif %if %suse_version > 1010 -BuildRequires: libopensync-devel pilot-link-devel +BuildRequires: libopensync-devel libpisock-devel %endif %if %suse_version > 1000 -BuildRequires: gpgme-devel +BuildRequires: libgpgme-devel %else BuildRequires: gpgme libgpg-error-devel %endif I hope this was correct way to change spec file. -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
