Bug 426236 is affecting the GNOME team really badly - it has gotten to the point where we can't check out or commit packages anymore. This is a serious problem in light of the Beta 3 deadline. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426236 We'd really appreciate some assistance from the autobuild team on this before friday. In the meantime, what's the preferred workaround? For employees to just submit using the internal autobuild, or branching and submitreq'ing directly to openSUSE:Factory? -- Hans Petter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] RPM bug when updating or something I should know?

by Christian Morales Vega

When Packman updated libcaca from 0.99beta14 to 0.99beta15 with zypper up -t package I found that I had some missing files ("rpm -ql" was different from real filesystem). Reinstalling the package (zypper in -f) fixed the problem. Since I don't have the old package to retest I can't say exactly what happened. Now even if I use openSUSE 11.0 x86_64 I have found 10.3 i586 versions of these packages (well, not exactly the sames, the beta15 package is newer than the one I had the first problem with). http://www.filefactory.com/file/3a10d3/n/libcaca-0_9_0_99_beta14-0_pm_0_i58… http://www.filefactory.com/file/e2a52c/n/libcaca0-0_9_0_99_beta15-0_pm_5_i5… >From the reports at http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/396626-mplayer-error-lat… the problem seems to happen also with Smart. Now I install the beta14 package and "rpm -qV libcaca" doesn't complains. Then I update directly with rpm (rpm -U libcaca0-0.9_0.99.beta15-0.pm.5.i586.rpm) and libcaca (beta14) is removed to install libcaca0 (beta15). But "rpm -qV libcaca0" returns: ....L... /usr/lib/libcaca.so.0 ....L... /usr/lib/libcucul.so.0 A "rpm -i --replacepkgs libcaca0-0.9_0.99.beta15-0.pm.5.i586.rpm" fixes the problem. What "rpm -qV" complains about is: $ rpm -qvl libcaca0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcaca++.so.0 -> libcaca++.so.0.99.15 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26428 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcaca++.so.0.99.15 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcaca.so.0 -> libcaca.so.0.99.15 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 675948 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcaca.so.0.99.15 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcucul++.so.0 -> libcaca++.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcucul.so.0 -> libcaca.so.0 $ l /usr/lib/libc[au]c* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 oct 3 01:31 /usr/lib/libcaca.so.0 -> libcucul.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 oct 3 01:31 /usr/lib/libcaca++.so.0 -> libcaca++.so.0.99.15* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 675948 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcaca.so.0.99.15* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26428 sep 30 21:26 /usr/lib/libcaca++.so.0.99.15* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 oct 3 01:31 /usr/lib/libcucul.so.0 -> libcucul.so.0.99.14 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 oct 3 01:31 /usr/lib/libcucul++.so.0 -> libcaca++.so.0* So, there is something about symbolic links and updates that I should know or this is a RPM bug?

[opensuse-packaging] build failures due to 02-check-gcc-output

by Ludwig Nussel

Hi, Recently we discovered that the 02-check-gcc-output post build script didn't complain about some kind of static buffer overflows anymore(?). For better or for worse the affected code will be aborted by glibc at runtime therefore hits you at unexpected time. So the build check was fixed and indeed causes failures in a few packages. Please fix them, the program will not work. The problem fortunately is easy to spot and fix. Affected code looks like this: char buf[128]; fgets(buf, 256, file); The fix is to just pass the correct size to the function call. Sorry for the inconvenience. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] build checks / build errors - please help

by Jan-Simon Möller

Hi ! We fixed most of the build errors/factory-checks in the "hamradio"-repo. But with the folowing packages I probably need some advice: * fpac: E: fpac 64bit-portability-issue fpacnode.c: 190 https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=i586&package=fpac&pr… * tnt: E: tnt bufferoverflow boxlist.c: 814 https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=i586&package=tnt&pro… * xcircuit: + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-tcl Script libraries for Tcl extensions should be in a package-specific subdir of /usr/share/tcl but was/were found in: /var/tmp/build-root-xcircuit/usr/lib/xcircuit-3.6/pkgIndex.tcl https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=i586&package=xcircui… If anyone could look at these and provide some advice - that would be great.

[opensuse-packaging] HAL: cleanup of deprecated keys/properties

by Danny Kukawka

Hi, with the next HAL package (v0.5.12) for STABLE/Factory (including the next beta) some keys/properties get removed from HAL because they are deprecated and marked since more than 6 months in the SPEC to get removed on 2008-05-03. The effected keys/properties are: - portable_audio_player.access_method - portable_audio_player.type Both keys are replaced by: - portable_audio_player.access_method.[drivers, protocols] Check the HAL spec for more information. Please check your HAL consuming applications (incl. may shipped FDI files) and updated them if needed to prevent bugreports/problems with the new HAL package.

[opensuse-packaging] Reviewing submissions in the OBS

by Vincent Untz

Hi, A few days ago, I learnt that submissions done via the OBS have to be reviewed, with an explicit entry in .changes (unless you have a suse or novell address). I can understand this -- although I'm not really sure I agree -- but the problem I have is that I never heard of this policy before. Is it documented somewhere?

[opensuse-packaging] "/opt/yuitest/bin/<foo>" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2.

by Jan-Simon Möller

Hi! I compiled some yast/libzypp module with the prefix /opt/yuitest because I don't want to exchange the installed versions and also not use /usr/local. Repo: home:dl9pf:yuitest-svn Now I get a bunch of errors like this in Factory. Is there a way to disable this warning/error ?
