[opensuse-packaging] Packages renames
by Stephan Kulow 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

Hi, Yesterday I learned something new and I think, so will you now: most of us (including me) did package renames the wrong way and the documentation in the wiki on it is unfortunately not very clear. So let me get this straight and I hope everyone will use it correctly from now on: oldpac.spec: Name: oldpac Version: 1.0 baselibs.conf: oldpac You want to rename it to newpac on update, what do you have to do? newpac.spec: Name: newpac Version: 1.1 Provides: oldpac <= 1.0 Obsoletes: oldpac <= 1.0 baselibs.conf: newpac obsoletes "oldpac-<targettype> <= 1.0" provides "oldpac-<targettype> <= 1.0" That's it - please always use <= with the latest version oldpac had, everything else is most likely wrong. And don't forget about the baselibs. Greetings, Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

But if you prefer just sending me mail, I have no problem with that. If you're going to use the buildservice, then I suggest subscribing the opensuse-buildservice mailing list (see http://en.opensuse.org/Mailing_Lists) and joining the #opensuse-buildservice channel on freenode. > I would be pleased to setup an opensuse box to test you future work Great! thanks, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] firebird maintainer wanted
by Michal Marek 24 May '08

24 May '08

Hi, We have a firebird (the opensource SQL database) package in the server:database buildservice project (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=firebird&project=server%3Ad…) Unfortunately, this package isn't maintained since some time, which is a pity, because the server:database repository is offered as a community repository in YaST and is advertised as the "Latest updates for database software including Firebird and MySQL". So, is there a firebird user who would like to revive the package? It needs updating to the latest and greatest and fixing build on 64bit. If you're interested, just tell me your buildservice account. And don't worry, the friendly people in the #opensuse-buildservice will always help you with rpm or buildservice issues ;-).

[opensuse-packaging] SUSE Linux 10.1 - slowly bringing it to an end
by Marcus Meissner 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hi folks, (mostly for SUSE internal packagers) Starting with May 15 we are no longer opening new bugs against SUSE Linux 10.1. This means all bugs after 391168 are not being considered by default for SUSE Linux 10.1 anymore. Exceptions are critical bugs (at security teams discretion), and bugfixes that are code sharing with SLES 10. On May 31 bugfixing for SUSE Linux 10.1 will be fully discontinued and only the QA queue being drained. Ciao, Marcus -- Working, but not speaking, for the following german company: 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] openSUSE extensions to categories for desktop files
by Vincent Untz 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hi, Here's a list of categories that are listed in our package conventions [1] but that are not in the fd.o spec [2]. Here's an attemps to fix this by either using a fd.o category or trying to push the unregistered category to fd.o. [1] http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Desktop_Menu#9.4._Category_… [2] http://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html#categ… * Design: not quite sure. I guess it's for UML tools (and other similar tools). Nothing really matching here in fd.o. Send upstream? * School: what's the use case here? * Teaching — obsoletes X-KDE-Edu-Teaching: any example of application where this would be useful? * 3DGame: is this really needed? * FirstPersonGame: redundant with ActionGame? Or register it? * PlatformGame: not sure, but I'd say redundant with ActionGame or ArcadeGame * PuzzleGame: redundant with LogicGame? * Photograph: use the fd.o Photography category instead (could have been a typo) * CD: don't know. A better name would be Disc, I guess. We might want to register it, although I'm not convinced it's that useful. * Jukebox: redundant with Player? * Warehouse: is it useful? * DesktopUtility: I guess it's used to list utilities with the Utility category but that don't go anywhere else. I'm not fond of it, it sounds like a workaround for the way the menu is built. We could handle this in the .menu file instead * PrintingUtility: use Printing instead? * SyncUtility: makes sense to have Synchronization registered, I believe * TimeUtility: what's the use case? * WebUtility: what's the use case? * XMLUtility: is it really needed? * Backup: isn't Archiving enough? * SystemSetup: sounds like "System;Settings;" to me. Shouldn't we use that instead? FWIW, I looked at a beta 1 install, with GNOME, KDE3 and KDE4 (but not all packages installed, so it's obviously not a perfect test): + I can't find any desktop file using Design, School, Teaching, 3DGame, FirstPersonGame, PlatformGame, PuzzleGame, Photograph, Jukebox, Warehouse, Backup, XMLUtility, WebUtility, TimeUtility + some desktop files already use Photography + X-SuSE-CD is used by kscd and kaudiocreator + X-SuSE-SyncUtility is used by kpilot, kitchensync, kpilot + X-SuSE-PrintingUtility is used by gnome-cups-manager, cups, kdeprintfax and kjobviewer + X-SuSE-DesktopUtility is used by xkill, xmag, kcolorchooser, ksnapshot, knotes, xclipboard, xrefresh, tomboy, kpager, ksnapshot, knotes What do you think?
