[opensuse-packaging] Tips & Tricks: desktop files

by Stephan Kulow

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] Stripping executables

by Michael Behrisch

Hello, this is my first try of building an RPM package, so please be patient. I want to package SUMO (http.//sumo.sf.net/) and succeeded in writing a spec file (attached), placing it into /usr/src/packages/SPECS together with sources in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and in executing rpmbuild -ba but the resulting RPM is huge because of the generated debug info in the executables. Digging into the macros in /usr/lib/rpm I found out that the %install macro actually should try to strip the executables but it does not in my case (maybe it gets overwritten by some suse_macro?). The system I am working on is openSUSE 10.3. and the (hopefully) relevant part of the rpmbuild output is here: Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.51377 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD + cd sumo-0.9.10 + make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/sumo-0.9.10-build install Making install in src ... make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sumo-0.9.10' + RPM_BUILD_ROOT=/var/tmp/sumo-0.9.10-build + export RPM_BUILD_ROOT + test -x /usr/sbin/Check -a 1000 = 0 -o -x /usr/sbin/Check -a '!' -z /var/tmp/sumo-0.9.10-build + echo 'I call /usr/sbin/Check...'

Now, what can I do to strip my executables before packaging them? Do I have to call strip by hand or I am just overlooking something? Thanks for your help, Michael

[opensuse-packaging] split of python package

by Jan Matějek

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 greetings, people of Mars, I'm currently in process of submitting a *split python package*. That means that if everything goes well, it will be in Factory by tomorrow. (If something -does- go wrong, you can still check out devel:languages:python:Factory in buildservice.) Sorry for such short notice, but i had too much work actually making the package and didn't really have time to write long mails about it. I took care to break as little as possible, but i'm sure that mayhem will ensue regardless ;e) What is a split python package, you ask? It's rather simple. What used to be 'python' is now three different things: * libpython2_6-1_0 (as per shared library packaging policy) This contains single file libpython2.6.so.1.0 Packages that only embed python will get this via autoreqprov, and that might or might not break them, depending on whether they explicitly require python, how they use the embedded python interpreter (it might or might not need site.py and parts of standard library) or if they use it at all. Some of those will need to explicitly require python, for others it might be sufficient to suggest it. * python-base This is what you'd normally call "python". It has all of the files you want, except those listed below, but with added benefit of no BuildRequires. That means that python-base is built very very soon. * python And finally, python itself. This contains the four modules that pull in extra dependencies: - - _hashlib.so - - sqlite3 module and _sqlite3.so - - ssl module and _ssl.so - - readline.so I'm actually considering moving readline and its family of user-friendly-python-interpreter-with-history scripts to python-base. But i'm unsure of how deep in the build process is libreadline, and it's probably not worth it anyway - this split is designed to remove build-time dependencies, which it does well, and python without its subpackages doesn't have too many install-time dependencies. Also, python-devel no longer depends on python-tk, nor does it depend on python, now it's a subpackage of python-base. That means that requiring python-devel does -not- pull in python, which (again) can break packages that depend on some of the missing modules. %py_requires still list 'python' as required, though. I might later add something like %py_requires_base that only requires python-base. Regarding python-devel, i've moved a few key files from it into python-base, so now it should be finally possible to install without python-devel. (what's now left is making python modules noarch and all will be well) Now that you know all this, you might want to go and examine your packages that depend on python, if they actually need the extra modules or if python-base is sufficient for them. have fun with it regards jan matejek -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjRaVMACgkQjBrWA+AvBr98QwCeIJFUQG9Q3tbR+wWsmx8Fp247 vTsAn119PtGPoXDDlrm2nERgL0A3aUMm =dwlG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Package sale

by Christoph Thiel

Hi everyone, having maintained the following packages in Factory/STABLE for quite some time, I would like to get rid of them. Either by tranfering them to a maintainer inside SUSE/Novell, by moving them to Contrib (http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/packages) or by dropping them completely. * duplicity * nano * newmail * offlineimap * python-GnuPG-Interface * python-curl * python-gpgme * python-kid * python-setuptools * rdiff-backup * repoview * safecat * smart * yum * yum-utils If you are interested, please speak up now! Thanks, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.

[opensuse-packaging] How to disable rpmlint check "devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50)"

by Stefan Dirsch

Hi Build of project games, package freedink-data fails due to tons of these error messages E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/dink/dink/Story/S3-BOWL.c These are files required during runtime by the game engine, not C sources! How can I disable this rpmlint check? Adding the file rpmlintrc with the following content # This line is mandatory to access the configuration functions from Config import * addFilter("freedink-data devel-file-in-non-devel-package") did not help at all. :-( Best regards, Stefan P.S.: games/freedink-data is a link to games/freedink, so you find the sources to the packages in games/freedink.
