[opensuse-packaging] Request to add packages to OSS
by Jasem Mutlaq 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi, I'm the upstream developer of libindi (http://indi.sf.net), and this library is recommended for KStars in KDE 4.2 in order to add telescope control functionality. Packages for OpenSUSE 11 and Factory are maintained in my home project here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amutlaqja The packages are: + libindi + libapogee + libfli + libnova + libcfitsio3 + sbig + indi-sbig + indi-apogee How can I request these packages to be added to the official OSS repo?

[opensuse-packaging] Tips & Tricks: desktop files
by Stephan Kulow 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi, If you have a Factory package that you also package in a backports repo, then there is the problem that the suse_update_desktop_file will erase translations not known to the old distribution. First let me explain the way Factory translates: 1. spec files have %suse_update_desktop_file, which will a) mark the desktop file for the translation process b) update the desktop files against desktop-translations 2. collect-desktop-files is built against all packages with desktop files, this will collect all _upstream_ translations from the desktop files 3. Karl is updating the lcn SVN to merge the openSUSE translations with the upstream translations (upstream translations win) 4. Karl submits new desktop-translations to start the process over So this works for Factory pretty well and allows openSUSE to a) update the translations - unknown translations can be filled up b) update translations by an online update - translations unknown will be erased from the desktop files to allow GNOME and KDE to look into dekstop_translations.mo file But this creates a problem with backports as way more translations will be unknown and hurting more than it helps. Now my tip: osc linkpac home:coolo update-desktop-files <myproject> and make sure it's disabled for Factory. This version is patched not to care about translations, so you get 100% the upstream translations and not less.

[opensuse-packaging] installation order with libzypp
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi, I currently have an issue with installation ordering of packages. I had to move a gconf schema file from package A to package B. Now that fails when A and B gets upgraded after this change because A gets installed after B and the uninstall scripts of A remove the gconf schema after package B would install the schema. On RPM level I think I can fix that by PreReq like this: Package A contains Requires: package B Package B contains PreReq: package A I think RPM would handle that correctly but zypper doesn't as it force installs the packages. How can I fix that? The gconf stuff is handled in the spec with the existing macros as documented.

[opensuse-packaging] Conventions for summary/description/group of devel packages?
by Vincent Untz 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, Looking at the packaging conventions, I didn't see any information for creating devel packages, which is something rather... common :-) (or maybe I missed the page about this) It looks to me like all packages use different conventions for this, while a standard pattern for summary and description would make sense. Eg, a standard summary could be "Development files and libraries for $package" and a standard description could be "Headers and libraries for developing applications that use $something." Also, right now, it's not clear to me if the group of the devel package should be the same as the non-devel package or something like Development/Libraries. Any opinion?

[opensuse-packaging] Projects
by Joop Boonen 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

All, I was looking via: http://software.opensuse.org/search trough different packages in OBS. I saw that there quite a few duplicate projects. Some with identical new versions and some with old versions. I saw there are also quite a few overlaps with the fwbuilder package that I also have in OBS. So I'm wondering if there is a way to consolidate packages in groups so that more people can put effort in building packages and bundle their knowledge to get the best out of it. Currently a lot of people put a lot of time in "duplicate" packages. I'm wondering wouldn't it be better to start for for instance fwbuilder a security project that can be maintained by joined effort of people? In that way more package can be maintained in OBS I think? If this option if feaseble what is the best way to accomplish this? The project ofcourse needs to be created. Shall the individual OBS builder contact the other OBS builder?

[opensuse-packaging] Splitting up splashy, circular dependency
by Holger Macht 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi, I need to split of branding packages from splashy: splashy-branding-upstream splashy-branding-openSUSE splashy-branding-SLED The core splashy package requires a branding package to be functional. However, the splashy-branding packages need a tool (splashy_config) to set the actual theme when installed (%post), which is in the core splashy package. So, does anyone has a hint how to solve this?
