[opensuse-packaging] Migration of configuration files?
by Vincent Untz 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi, With sabayon 2.29.5, the location of configuration files have changed. The migration is quite simple: cp /etc/desktop-profiles/*.xml /etc/sabayon/ cp /etc/desktop-profiles/*.zip /etc/sabayon/profiles/ I'm wondering if this is something that should be done in the package scriptlets, or not. I know we usually don't want to touch configuration files, but here, it's really just moving them. Is this something we should do, or is this a bad idea? Also, is there any way to notify the user about this change? It will of course be in the rpm changelog, but something more visible might be better.

[opensuse-packaging] GPL v3 question
by Dave Plater 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi, I've come across my first license problem with ghostscript-8.70, it has switched to GPL v3. There are a lot of packages that depend on ghostscript, lilypond being one and apparently TeXLive sub packages. How are problems like this resolved. Having an old ghostscript version isn't good for attracting people to the distro. I'm totally in the dark about these things but as a packager I need to know about them.

[opensuse-packaging] New branch & merge handling in OBS (more git like)
by Adrian Schröter 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hi, please read this news posting about the new branch handling of OBS. http://news.opensuse.org/2010/01/11/obs-supports-new-branch-and-merge-handl… We just activated this new mode on api.opensuse.org. So this means you may be surprised when you look into a package you just created with "osc branch". There are no _link + project.diff files anymore, but a full copy of all files plus an additional _link file. Please read the blog and ask questions here :) thanks adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] RPMLINT warnings
by Robert Schweikert 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi, I am attempting to create a package for a kernel module and would like to get rid of some or all RPMLINT warnings. Can someone tell me what I need to to to get rid of the following? - This package contains a kernel module but provides no call to depmod in the %post scriptlet. - This package contains a kernel module but provides no call to depmod in the %postun scriptlet. I figure I need a %post and %postun section in my spect and am supposed to call depmod. The question is what arguments if any do I need to do this right? - et131x-kmp-default.x86_64: W: suse-policy-kmp-missing-enhances kernel-default All warnings are displayed for all kernel flavors. Help is appreciated.

[opensuse-packaging] RPM question
by Robert Schweikert 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi, The question is somewhat of topic, but not completely in left field. Is there a way to figure out the version of a previously installed package with the same base name in the %pre and %post sections of the spec. The idea is that if a release upgrade is being performed command A needs to be run and if a version upgrade is performed command B needs to be run.

[opensuse-packaging] New osc 0.124 release
by Adrian Schröter 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hello, we put out the new osc version 0.124 release in the openSUSE:Tools project. http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE:Tools&q=osc The version has a hughe changelog, in addition it fixes also the regression of product building. Using this osc and the new build.rpm from same project you can build products now faster than ever via osc build images i586 --linksource I want to push out this release also a official maintenance release again in 1-2 weeks. Solving esp. the problems of authentification problems of 0.120. So please report here any regression, I am not away of any. Please ask here also when you need further informations about the changes: have fun adrian 0.124 - added 'osc bugowner' as a more intelligent version of 'osc maintainer -B' - added option '-B' to osc maintainer, prints bugowner OR maintainer. - added 'osc req help' as convenience alias to 'osc help req'. - 'osc in' to be done. Its usage just prints a suggested zypper command line. - give better hint how to use osc vc without network connectivity. - added printing of cache statistices to osc build - support http proxies when using python 2.6 or newer (#551004) - partial fix for checkout problems (bnc#551147) - fixed #477690 ("osc fetching binaries really slow") - osc jobhistory accepts also "prj [pkg] repo arch" now - osc buildinfo accepts now also "prj pkg repo arch [spec/dsc]" - osc buildconfig accepts now also "prj pkg repo arch" - fixed warning messages regarding SSL certificate on some plattforms (Fedora) - support submit requests on project level, osc is checking which packages have changed and submits only the changed after asking back. - show worker/id on jobhistory and make it faster by adding a default limit of 20 - add "osc build --root" option to allow to specify build root directory - add "osc build --release" option to allow to specify a package release number - added osc mv command which can rename file and leave them under version control - added new commands "dependson" and "whatdependson" to find out which packages get triggered before checkin/request accept. - add new "osc build --linksource" option, speeds up esp. image building a lot - add "osc triggerreason" command to show detail reason, why a package got triggered for build - Incompatible changes: * osc se now prints Project Package, instead of Package Project for easier copy&paste. * osc se uses exact search by default. Use osc se -s for substring search * osc repourls neither needs nor accepts a path to a package working dir anymore * osc repo neither needs nor accepts a path to a package or project working dir anymore # # Features which require OBS 1.7 # - search: allow to limit results via existing attibutes - added "osc meta attribute" for basic attribute creation, deletion, showing and value setting - implement "osc mbranch" call to create projects with multiple source package (instances) - new "osc patchinfo" command: basic patchinfo generation and modification support - add support for _patchinfo package submissions in "osc sr" on project level - support review handling of requests (new "osc review accept/decline $REQUEST_ID" command -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] new repository / scheduler states
by Adrian Schröter 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi, You see new states in the web interface now for entire repostories. A more detailed documentation can be found here: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/01/11/obs-reports-scheduling-state-now/ Unfortunatly, I missed a corner case which let the schedulers die on build.opensuse.org. They are currently restarting, but you know that this takes a while :/ The positive aspect is that you see now with the new code that the state is about to be reprocessed when you for example upload new sources. You see this in the webinterface, the state is mentioned to be "outdated". So you know that it will happen and do not to speculate if there is maybe a bug ;) have fun adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
