[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] Stripping executables
by Michael Behrisch 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

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] z7 compressed archive handling

[opensuse-packaging] split of python package
by Jan Matějek 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

-----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 17 Sep '08

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!

[opensuse-packaging] How to disable rpmlint check "devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50)"
by Stefan Dirsch 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

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.

[opensuse-packaging] Dependencies between packages and their YaST module (was: Re: [opensuse-factory] Yast improvment ide?)
by Christian Boltz 10 Sep '08

Hello, on Samstag, 6. September 2008, Wolfgang Woehl wrote: > ps: Why is the httpd module not pulled in when I install apache? Because the apache package does not have Recommends: yast2-http-server in its specfile. The other way round is also possible: add Supplements: apache2 to the yast2-http-server package. (Open a bugreport and it might be added ;-) This would be useful for every YaST module, so maybe it {c,sh}ould be made a general policy: - "If there is a YaST module for a package, the package should recommend it" - or - - "each YaST module should have a Suplements: for the package it configures" This might even be the better solution because it is easier to check ("each YaST package must have at least one Supplements: statement") I'm cross-posting this mail to the opensuse-packaging mailinglist because packaging policies are better fitted there. Please answer only to the -packaging mailinglist if possible. (Packagers, do you like the above proposal?)

[opensuse-packaging] empty update-desktop-files package, it's a problem?
by Christian Morales Vega 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

I don't know how %suse_update_desktop_file works (or gettext in general...). But I have noted that update-desktop-files-11.0-61.1 from KDE:KDE3 openSUSE 11.0 OBS repo doesn't has .mo files. desktop-translations-11.0-61.1 is an empty package with no dependencies at all!!! Package versions 11.0-22.2 from official repo have a lot of .mo files. So, it's a bug? If it is, what it means? Will just cause problems when creating RPM packages in my machine, will my desktop miss translations or...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Packager: rpm tag
by Will Stephenson 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

While cleaning up the libqca2 package according to rpmlint checks using osc build, I got a warning that there are no Packager: tags in the packages. After adding a Packager tag, I got a warning that I should not hardcode Packager: becauser "rebuilder cannot change it". What's the correct behaviour here? 1) Is this rpmlint check spurious, eg since packages in the distro seem to have a Packager tag of http://bugs.opensuse.org that was added automatically? 2) Or is there a correct Packager tag using some macro that is automatically filled for packages that are only in the public Build Service? The fedora packaging guidelines (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines) discourage the use of Packager. I'll add this info to our guidelines once I know how to do it right.
