As pointed out already, it is straightforward to change rpm's defaults in ~/.rpmmacros. This still only gives different per-user settings, and different packages can still step on their toes (and they will still create a big mess in the SOURCES directory). People are led to include %name in all patch names to somewhat reduce the mess, for example. When using rpm directly without a chroot, I like to keep everything in the same sub-directory instead. For building, I use the attached script. This would make much saner defaults for rpm IMO. This doesn't seem to be a popular opinion, however. Andreas

[opensuse-packaging] packages cant be fount for Centos/RHEL/Fedora/Mandriva
by Joop Boonen 14 Jan '09

When i try to build package dfu-util I get the error below mentioning that it can satisfy the build dependencies. I've check the file name for both Fedora and Mandriva the names are correct. I can install them the virtual machine I use to find package names. I get the same warning for all mentioned distro's. For all SuSE versions it works fine (the package name for SuSE is pkg-config).

[opensuse-packaging] C99 conformance
by Mads Martin Joergensen 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hello all, Jump to memccpy(3) at the bottom. It says: CONFORMING TO SVr4, 4.3BSD, C99. Now look at the following program: $ cat memccp.c #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main() { void *s, *d, *r; s = malloc(1024); d = malloc(1024); r = memccpy(s, d, 0, 1024); return 0; } And now compile it: $ gcc -std=c99 -Wall memccp.c memccp.c: In function ‘main’: memccp.c:10: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘memccpy’ memccp.c:10: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast Is this due to gcc not fully supporting C99? Would a possible solution be to remove the -std=c99 from the compile options, or would that bring other problems? -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.

[opensuse-packaging] RPMLINT Side updated
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi Folks, I’m an new Packager in OpenSUSE BuildService, and i like this work. But if i would like to package for Factory, RPMLINT gives me any Errors or warnings. But these things to fix, are very difficult. Our Wiki Side for RPMLINT doesn’t contain many Error or Warningcodes. From my side, i can say, that it's not good to make rpmlint as standard in OBS, and we have not enough dokumentation :-( But yesterday i’ve found an Side, with other Errorcodes from RPMLINT. Today i imported these Codes to our Wikiside http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint. I think it is not possible to list all codes on the Side. But i wish, that the side includes more Codes in the future. No i would like to make an Call for contribution. If every Packager insert the codes, that he knows, we have an good library soon. And on this Moment i would like to make an request about helping- Thank you all for the hard Work. -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] gecko-sdk
by Dominique Leuenberger 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi everybody, For one of my packages I used to have a BuildRequires: gecko-sdk in my spec file. This worked great until recently. Is there a new Provides: for it available? It was pretty handy for not needing to 'clutter' the spec with hundreds of %ifs...

[opensuse-packaging] Cross-desktop games packaging mailing list
by Richard Hartmann 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi all, if you are a games packager or have a general interest in FLOSS games, let me point you to games(a)lists.freedesktop.org The Debian and Ubuntu games teams have merged completely and the Fedora team has been working more and more with us to reduce duplicated work. We have been using the Debian games mailing list until now, but we decided that a distro-agnostic would be better. We will start defining requirements and possible layouts for intermediary repositories, soon. Distros could then pull from there and get a common, patched version. Distro-specific patches would be applied in your local SuSE repositories via your existing processes. It would be great if at least one SuSE games packager could subscribe to act as a liason. I suspect the rest will join over time as the benefits will, hopefully, be substantial. Thanks for reading this far and sorry to all people who are not interested in games packaging.
