Hello, I am interested in getting the following package into the opensuse build service (obs). It is called Cricket. Home page: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/ So far I have started to create a project, extracted the files and uploaded them. Currently the build fails. Can someone have a look at the cricket.spec for me and let me know what needs changing/adding/removing please. Project -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=cricket&project=home%3Adoig… Specfile -> https://api.opensuse.org/source/home:doiggl/cricket/cricket.spec Last Logfile -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=crick… Any assistance welcome Cheers Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Automatic Dependencies of libraries
by Dominique Leuenberger 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi everybody, some mails just earlier made me check some of my packages (vlc from the vlc repo). I've seen one thing that puzzles me a bit and which I consider a source for possible problems at this moment. Just some simple output to 'show' my case: dle3ams@3120-2914:/usr/lib64/vlc/access> ldd libvcdx_plugin.so | grep iso9660 libiso9660.so.7 => /usr/lib64/libiso9660.so.7 (0x00007f5bf6709000) dle3ams@3120-2914:/usr/lib64/vlc/access> rpm -qf libvcdx_plugin.so vlc-noX-1.0.1-2.1 dle3ams@3120-2914:/usr/lib64/vlc/access> rpm -q --requires vlc-noX | grep iso9660 dle3ams@3120-2914:/usr/lib64/vlc/access> So in human words: the package vlc-noX contains a libvcdx access plugin which itself depends on libiso9660.so.7. The package vlc-noX OTOH does not have this requirement in it's table. So if somebody installs this package, there is at least this dependency not being pulled in automatically. How can this happen and even more important: how can we avoid it? (well I see one option, but that's rather surprising to me: the same file also depends on libvcdinfo.so.0, which in turn itself has a dependency on libiso9660.so.7. Is this already enough to consider not to list this dependency? This in return would break if there was any other implementation of libvcdinfo.so.0 that would not depend on libiso9660.so.7 (statically linked or whatever the cause would be). At the moment I'm just puzzled... and I'm eager to hear explanations that are able to take away my fear of things like this breaking around us.

[opensuse-packaging] Is Xvid allowed in factory?
by Dave Plater 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, I'm packaging blender-2.49a as an upgrade for eventual submission to factory. The original source package contained xvidcore and I was advised to remove it. I am surprised as it contained a gnu v2 license and http://www.xvid.org claims it is an open source alternative to mpeg-4. Further googling finds this statement " /XviD/ is an ISO MPEG-4 compliant video codec." but brings up no trace of legal battles or such. I have honored the instruction to remove it but I just wondered if anyone knows why?

[opensuse-packaging] Communication problem within packagers
by Sebastian Siebert 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hello, At first I'm a maintainer of PokerTH for packaging on openSUSE systems. I want to discuss with you a simple problem. Unfortunately I see a problem with a bad consultation between you and me as packager with dependet package in OBS. In my case the package PokerTH needs boost package. Any time the boost package was updated from 1.38 to 1.39. The Upstream from PokerTH know about a established problem in boost 1.39, so the new library let crash the PokerTH-Server. For my case I have to consult the boost packager for patching the boost package. The patching is a least problem. The biggest problem is the nonconsultation with all of packager of dependet packages before any update of the dependet packages. The maintainer of package (e.g. boost) is completely blind to me as packager (PokerTH), but backwards I know which package depend on other sub-packages. This communication order isn't a problem e.g.: Package PokerTH -> Package boost -> Package glibc Package Wesnoth -> Package boost -> Package glibc In this case all packages are completely blind afterwards e.g.: Package glibc -> Package boost -> Package PokerTH Package glibc -> Package boost -> Package Wesnoth This example isn't only for boost, but also other dependet packages. I think, all other packagers have the same problem. On this note we need a simple communication platform for packager like Wiki-pages or something like that. On this platform every packager see which package depends with other package and can easily consulte the other packager or inform of a upcoming update of sub-package. In this case we have a chance to discuss about potential bugs, incompatiblity and so on. I wish more communication with packager from dependet packages. What do you think about this situation? How we can change this situation? Regards, Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] server:database target of PHP packages will be removed
by Cristian Rodríguez 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Hi: All PHP packages built against the server:database repository will be removed in a couple of hours, the reason for this is that PHP will no longer use mysql libraries, but a native driver called mysqlnd. You can read what mysqlnd is about at the following URL: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_MYSQLND server_database_apache_* users should use server_apache_* repositories server_database_ users should use standard repositories. If you find any problem, please open a bug report. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Reminder: milestone6 next week
by Stephan Kulow 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, Just reminding everyone that next week is one of the more important releases: milestone6 aka "all packages have their final version" milestone. Also next monday is crypto freeze, so please don't act suprised if we reject your packages. To make sure we can release M6 really next week, I won't check packages next week that are risky or trigger a lot of packages, so please make friday for such stuff. And remember, that M6 is not the end of 11.2 development, so don't rush things in that won't work, but talk to me about a delay. I'm really a nice guy when people are nice to me ;) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] python modules as noarch - for real this time
by Jan Matejek 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Fellow python packagers, Now it is time to review your packages and find out whether they can be built noarch. (hint: if you see "no-binary" warning in rpmlint output, you can switch to noarch) I'm currently going through d:l:py repository and switching as necessary, but not everything pythonic is in there, and sometimes i'm not sure whether the package needs to be submitted to factory or not. If you need to maintain compatibility with older distros, you can use this expression i've devised: %if %{?suse_version: %{suse_version} > 1110} %{!?suse_version:1} BuildArch: noarch %endif in earthspeak: IF (suse_version is defined AND bigger than 1110) OR (suse_version is undefined) THEN build noarch (both mandriva and fedora seem to have python packages noarch'd) if you keep your own filelists and need the new macros, just add an %else branch with the definitions you need: %if %{?suse_version: %{suse_version} > 1110} %{!?suse_version:1} BuildArch: noarch %else %{!?python_sitelib: %global python_sitelib %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()")} %{!?python_sitearch: %global python_sitearch %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib(True)")} %endif as mentioned in the old thread, it might happen that we define those macros in project configs. but maybe not. with kind regards m. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
