[opensuse-packaging] SLE_10 missing mDNSResponder
by Andrew Jorgensen 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello, The SLE_10 distro on OBS is missing mDNSResponder. I am trying to build giver for SLE_10 with a patch that uses mono-zeroconf instead of avahi-mono. This should let us build giver for SLE_10. Can this be corrected?

[opensuse-packaging] java-devel in factory
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi, in the past it was possible to use "java-devel" (and before java2-devel-packages IIRC) as a BuildRequires to get a "default" Java environment installed. Currently (at least in the OBS's Factory tree) I get expansion errors because I have three different alternatives: java-1_7_0-icedtea-devel java-1_6_0-sun-devel java-1_5_0-sun-devel Will there be a "default" java-devel again or do I need to specify explicitely (which means again quite some %if s in the specfile?

[opensuse-packaging] BETA: watch out for new rpmlint fun
by Dirk Mueller 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Hi, externals: stop reading here. Hopefully soon the new rpmlint checks will be enabled in BETA, which might be more strict and can cause new packages to fail. There was no particular new check added, just that some of the slow brp scripts were rewritten and integrated into rpmlint for performance and ease of maintenance. There might be fallout: false positives and false negatives. Please let me know if you find anything particularly interesting so that I can improve the checks. Thanks, Dirk :-) -- RPMLINT information under http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] New rpmlint check
by Dirk Mueller 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi, I've implemented the suggestion in bnc#357040, which checks if a package, that installs a file in /etc/cron.*/ or /etc/logrotate.d/, also rpm-requires "cron". As cron is not part of a minimal installation, this explicit rpm requires is useful to make sure that your package works as designed. Please watch for "missing-dependency-to-cron" rpmlint checks. These are not fatal at the moment but they might gain badness soon.

[opensuse-packaging] BuildRoot Tag
by Christian Morales Vega 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

I know that they are just recommendations and isn't so important at all... but couldn't we agree at least with this? I don't see any recommendation from Mandriva, openSUSE "prefers" "%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-build", and Fedora says: "The BuildRoot value MUST be below %{_tmppath}/ and MUST contain at least %{name}, %{version} and %{release}. It may invoke mktemp since this is guaranteed to exist on every system. From there, packagers are expected to use a sane BuildRoot. The recommended values for the BuildRoot tag are (in descending order of preference) : %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX) %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root At one point, the second was a mandatory value, but it is now left to the packager to decide. If unsure, simply pick the first." http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/BuildRoot http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/RPM_Style#1.16._BuildRoot_T… Someone has any problem in changing the SUSE Package Conventions/RPM Style wiki and copying the text from Fedora? Their option makes more sense anyway. With the openSUSE "preference" two users at the same machine could try to create at the same time a package of the same sotware/version with different spec files and end using the same build directory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] fedora needs some deltarpm love :)
by Valent Turkovic 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

Hi, let me first introduce myself. I'm a Fedora contributor and Fedora Ambassador for Croatia, but I'm not directly part od Fedora board or Fedora Project. Still I would like to ask you for assistance in one matter that you have more experience dealing that Fedora - and that is deltarpm. Fedora 9 features list has Presto[1] on it - it is a yum plugin that handles deltarpms during updates. Currently the deltarpm integration is stuck because the infrastructure team is stuck[2] in its implementation. Is there some way in which you can help with your longer experience with handling deltarpm files so that this greatly needed feature comes on by default in Fedora 9? Is there some other list that is more specialized on this sort of topics that I would be better of trying elsewere? Cheers, Valent from Croatia.

[opensuse-packaging] SUSE insanities
by Krzysztof Kotlenga 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hi, First: package groups. That list: http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/RPM_Groups It's incomplete, nobody respects it. Stupid groups: Productivity/Networking/Napster - but there is no common group for P2P applications Productivity/Networking/AOLInstantMessenger - but there is no common group for IM applications! Pidgin is in "Productivity/Networking/Instant Messenger", gajim in "Productivity/Networking/InstantMessaging" etc. Categorization funnies: gstreamer010-plugins-base in System/GUI/GNOME (same for other gstreamer packages). I'd never thought. Second: lists of authors in package descriptions. That what AUTHORS files are for! God damn it! I bet that most of it are incomplete, because it's a waste of time to update them in specs. I run rpm -qi and... whoa!, must rerun with some pager to see a real description. Again, piding.spec is a good example. OK, enough for today. With love, yours truly, openSUSE user. -- Krzysztof Kotlenga <piernik$gmail,com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi! I am user of ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default package from ATI Legacy Repository (http://opensuse-community.org/ati/10.3/) and i can't find who is responsible for this repository. But that package is not compatible with kernel from Updates repository... That package should be rebuilded. So anybody from openSUSE comunity portal please rebuild this package against kernel-source from Updates repository. Thanks (And i am so sorry for this SPAM) I hope, the responsible person is registred to this list... -- S pozdravem / Best regards Marek Stopka Kontakty / Contacts Mobil/Cell phone: 774 59 79 40 E-mail: marekstopka(a)gmail.com WEB: www.m4r3k.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
