[opensuse-packaging] Right usage of libexecdir?
by Vincent Untz 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hey, Dominique and I are currently wondering what to do wrt libexecdir for evolution-data-server. Should we leave it unchanged (so files will be in /usr/lib) or should we change it to /usr/lib/evolution-data-server? If the latter, is there any reason this is not done automatically? Also, hrm, would rpmlint have ways to warn about packages that put binaries in libdir instead of libexecdir? (I can find a few of them here with a grep) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello I am trying to compile project called wflogs. Project -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=wflogs&project=home%3Adoiggl Last log -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=wflog… spec file -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=wflogs.spec&package=wflog… I have a link to another project called wfnetobjs too (no wfnetobjs rpm installed yet) Last set of wflog errors: configure: error: wfnetobjs-incdir: no directory found, use configure option error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.w8AYXU (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.w8AYXU (%build) System halted. Can someone assist me to compile this package please. 1. I think Ive got to install wfnetobjs rpm but dont know to set that in the spec file. 2. Also I got to do the configure bit with a call like (but unsure how to set in the spec file) # ./configure --with-wfnetobjs-libdir=/usr/include/wallfire/ help appreciated.

[opensuse-packaging] renaming for nagios-nrpe
by Christian 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hi, I am not very happy with naming of nrpe and its sub-pkg. we have nagios-nrpe-client, nagios-nrpe-server While seeing the client pkg I'll be misled to install this pkg on the remote box and vice versa. But the "client" pkg has to be installed on the nagios box. That's why I am thinking of: - nagios-nrpe it is the package to be installed on the remote box. - nagios-nrpe-plugin or nagios-plugins-nrpe just the name will let you associate to install this pkg on the nagios box. What do you think ? Any recommendations are welcome Kind Regards Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Converting factory devel packages to branch
by Stephan Kulow 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, I plan to mass convert all devel packages to branches if they are fall into one of the following categories: - they are a source link now - they contain the same sources as factory This will happen at the end of the week unless someone convinces me this a bad idea, so I would like to stress why I plan to do so: packages that have no relation to factory sources very easily divert as factory follows different white space indentation rules and it's near to impossible to check if a package has pending changes in the devel project or "just" whitespace differences. Source links break easily if you continue working in the devel project after the submit request - as such many projects prefer not to use source links. But branches do not have this problem, they even leave your white space alone - with branches the source server only touches the _link file and nothing else, so nothing can break your sources. That does not mean, there can't be conflicts in case someone pushes something to O:F that conflicts with your changes (which shouldn't happen in devel projects by policy). Converting the devel projects may break some scripts though as I'm pretty sure some rely on the existance of project.diff to see if there is a difference so my mail to talk about it. So what is a branch? It's a _link without diffs, the _link contains the revision of factory and additionally you have the full sources in the devel project. This means you can't easily find out from your osc checkout if the project made changes. Of course we can extend osc to store the md5 of the link target too, so you can adapt your scripts - but for now there is no such possibility from what I can see. Is that problem enough to outweight the advantages?

[opensuse-packaging] Question about Mountmanager
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hello Mates, my mountmanager Package has an unfixed Security Hole (not solved by upstream). So Markus Meissner proposed that i make an new Package for Updating, with an Script that says "This Binary was removed due brokeness". So i've written my Script as mmanager.sh. And the Spec looks like: Source2: mmanager.sh %install %__cp %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/mmanager %__cp %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/mountmanager But osc says me: "+ /bin/cp /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/mmanager.sh /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/mountmanager-0.2.6-5.2.x86_64/usr/bin/mmanager /bin/cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/mountmanager-0.2.6-5.2.x86_64/usr/bin/mmanager': No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Nbqsld (%install)" But mmanager.sh IS in the Directory.

[opensuse-packaging] rpm macro expansion in baselibs.conf?
by Ludwig Nussel 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi, I wonder whether it would be feasible to use rpm macro expansion in baselibs.conf and per package rpmlintrc's. That would allow to use e.g. %suse_version in those files. Since expansion of an unknown macro is the macro itself there shouldn't be a problem with '%' characters in existing files. Does anyone know of a package that would break due to macro expansion? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

|Hi, the explanation for "||shlib-policy-missing-suffix ||Your package containing shared libraries does not end in a digit and should probably be split.||" seems to be missing from: http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint What does it mean, what libs and split into what?

[opensuse-packaging] question according fdupes and spaces in file-/directory names
by oc2pus＠arcor.de 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi, how to use fdupes when there are spaces in filenames ? e.g OpenLieroX-data.noarch: W: files-duplicate /usr/share/OpenLieroX/Super Mario v0.3/gfx/null.png /usr/share/OpenLieroX/Trick or Treat v0.4/gfx/null.png:/usr/share/OpenLieroX/FoodFight v0.6/gfx/null.png OpenLieroX-data.noarch: W: files-duplicate /usr/share/OpenLieroX/themes/Ze Green/data/gfx/ingame.png /usr/share/OpenLieroX/data/gfx/ingame.png I tried already: IFS=$'\n' %fdupes -s "%{buildroot}" fdupes finished without errors, but the "relinking" done afterwards is struggling again with the spaces in the names. INFO: relinking /usr/share/OpenLieroX/default.png -> themes/Ze Green/data/gfx/font.png (was /usr/share/OpenLieroX/themes/Ze Green/data/gfx/font.png) ln: target `.//usr/share/OpenLieroX/default.png' is not a directory /usr/lib/rpm/brp-symlink: line 101: test: .//usr/share/OpenLieroX/themes/Ze: binary operator expected /usr/bin/dirname: extra operand `Green/data/gfx/blarpa.png' Try `/usr/bin/dirname --help' for more information.
