[opensuse-packaging] BuildRequires pkgconfig()?
by Cristian Morales Vega 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Now that RPM provides automatically things like "pkgconfig(gtk+-2.0)"... should we use them explicitly? I mean change "BuildRequires: gtk2-devel" by "BuildRequires: pkgconfig(gtk+-2.0)". Not depending of package names would improve inter-distro compatibility, but would this be a good solution? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Need help with 11.2 qtractor build failure
by Dave Plater 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi, I have an 11.2 and 11.1 buld failure for qtractor, it succeeds for 11.3, factory and strangely KDE:Distro:Factory 11.2 which has qt4.7. The failure is :- qtractorMainForm.cpp: In constructor 'qtractorMainForm::qtractorMainForm(QWidget*, Qt::WindowFlags)': qtractorMainForm.cpp:357: error: 'QGtkStyle' was not declared in this scope qtractorMainForm.cpp:357: error: parse error in template argument list qtractorMainForm.cpp:357: error: no matching function for call to 'qobject_cast(QStyle*)' qtractorMainForm.cpp: At global scope: qtractorMainForm.cpp:4855: warning: unused parameter 'pvSessionArg' make[2]: *** [.obj/qtractorMainForm.o] Error 1 The KDF11.3, KDF11.2, 11.3 and factory builds give no warnings and sail through the build. Maybe somebody has come across a similar failure?

[opensuse-packaging] Why should an unstable released package be favoured over a stable svn package?
by Dave Plater 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi, I've been trying to submit an svn derived version of KTrafficAnalyzer to KDE:Extra, the package used to be in the old kde3 community repo and has been around in openSUSE for quite a while. It's been ported to kde4. I've been using the package from the authors home project and it occasionally crashed and lost the usage stats but after my recent update from KDE:Distro:Factory it consistently segfaulted on start up. This is a good thing that enabled me to track down the problem and patch it. It's now stable on a patched svn revision 44 so I decided to submit this very usefull package to KDE:Extra and am quite happy to maintain it as I use it all the time and it's a simple package only to have it rejected on the grounds that it's svn derived. This seems a bit stupid because the released package is unstable and even has a source forge bug against it from an openSUSE 11.3 user. I've had problems submitting a package fix to KDE:Extra before but in that case the maintainers reply was rather rude that issue was simply bad communication and was resolved and that particular maintainer accepted my second submit attempt of KTrafficAnalyzer pointing out that there wasn't a Url: in the spec file and asking me to fix it. I decided to patch the released tarball to svn 44 and submit that along with the fixed spec file but alas the first anti subversion maintainer caught the request and declined it. I was under the assumption that I'm helping to make openSUSE a better distribution but my encounters with KDE:Extra have made me think that that particular repository is an ego circus, it's easier to get a new package into Factory than into KDE:Extra, I've two new packages in 11.3 one of them totally new to openSUSE and one that the previous maintainer didn't have time for so it was dropped so I speak from experience. The point of this email are the questions :- am I flogging a dead horse trying to be a useful member of the community? Why do I get the impression that KDE:Extra is maintained a an exclusive club? Thanks for taking the time to read my rant. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
