[opensuse-packaging] Dependencies between packages and their YaST module (was: Re: [opensuse-factory] Yast improvment ide?)

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.
