[opensuse-packaging] 11.1 version of my package fails to build because of 11.1 pyhon3 version
by Dave Plater 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, my package blender-2.50 built fine for 11.1 in my branch repo because I linked to 11.2 python3 and built that for 11.1 as well but now it won't build for 11.1 in the graphics devel project because 11.1 still has an old beta version of python3. Who do I contact or how do I resolve this problem.

[opensuse-packaging] mkswap UUID
by Andre Hübner 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello List, for my Suse 10.1 i used an Suse 11.0 src-rpm (2.14.1) of util-linux to get UUID-Support for mkswap. I did unrpm and packaged on my own machine "mkswap --help" tells: Usage: mkswap [-c] [-v0|-v1] [-pPAGESZ] [-L label] [-U UUID] /dev/name [blocks] But if i want to use "mkswap -U $(uuidgen) /dev/sda1" it tells: mkswap: warning: ignore -U (UUIDs are unsupported by mkswap) Usage: mkswap [-c] [-v0|-v1] [-pPAGESZ] [-L label] [-U UUID] /dev/name [blocks] Can anybody explain this behaviour? Is there a basepackage which should be upgraded? Got no error at packaging.

I'm in the dark as to what error the programmer has made in this package that could cause such an error to occur on opensuse build service that doesn't occur with a local build.

[opensuse-packaging] How do I specify a kernel-flavour dependency?
by Dave Plater 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, if I want to build a package that requires kernel-source to be present in order to compile a module how do I specify the dependency of either kernel-desktop-devel ,kernel-default-devel, kernel-pae-devel, kernel-vanilla-devel or any of the other kernel devel packages in the spec file in order to ensure trouble free installation?

[opensuse-packaging] package for sale: scpm
by Christian Zoz 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hiho, scpm is the good old System Configuration Profile Management tool. And it is not really on sale but you can get it for free. ;) This package is unmaintained since some time and would need some love from somone who uses it. The former maintainers left SUSE some time ago and have unfortunately no time to continue on this project. I was never maintainer of scpm but unfortunately inherited two open bugs. But the author of scpm just told me that he would help to understand the tool and get you on your own feet. If there is no interest, I will drop it completely. Sources are here. http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?scpm This should be moved to a better place. open bugs: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519508 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527845 Have fun. :) -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] rpm fuzz
by Stephan Kulow 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hi, No one knows what the fuzz was all about, so we set it to 0. OK, I guess I can't leave it as this :) rpm so far applied patches with a pretty heavy "fuzz factor", which means patch tried to be clever and ignore "small" differences to the code you was patching. As patch is - well - patch, this can go wrong. rpm 4.7.1 changed the default not to rely on patch being clever and set the fuzz to 0, but we reverted that for 11.2 as it was a bit too much failure for a little time. But now I reverted the revert and rpm is back to 0 - and I also submitted 170 packages to their devel projects (gently causing the "My Projects" link to timeout - so Pavol was so nice to split out "My Requests" :). The packages I submitted where those where I could automate the refresh, there will be plenty of failures left - so be warned.

[opensuse-packaging] Parallel automake
by Philipp Thomas 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

For those that like to experiment I have a hint. From automake.info: If the environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' contains a positive number, it is taken as the maximum number of Perl threads to use in `automake' for generating multiple `Makefile.in' files concurrently. This is an experimental feature. This is in automake since 1.11 and given perls rather high thread spawning overhead only shows real speed-ups in large projects (report was significant savings in a project with 150 Makefiles).
