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

OK, I'll have a look and upload it to the buildservice.

Preferably, register a buildservice account at
https://build.opensuse.org/ and tell me your ID, so that I can grant you
access to the package and you can directly fix issues you encounter. 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.

Great!
thanks,
Michal

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 ;-).
Michal

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

Hello,
i know we build packages for openSUSE 10.2 on ppc64 architecture, but
for some reason, they are not present in the official repository.
Why is that, and/or, where can a potential user find such packages?
regards
m.

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?
Vincent
