[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

[opensuse-packaging] rpmlint-checks: adding new gnome/desktop-related checks
by Vincent Untz 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, I've been adding some macros to make life easier when packaging things for GNOME, or desktop applications in general. See [1] for some of those, and I guess I'll send a new mail later for the others -- I just need to figure out where some of them should live. Anyway. The thing is that those macros are all nice, but nobody will think about using them if they don't have rpmlint checks. So I wrote some checks. Can we add this to the rpmlint-checks git repo, and to our rpmlint package? Thanks, Vincent [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-08/msg00059.html -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.

[opensuse-packaging] What is wxGTK/wxWidgets all about?
by Dave Plater 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hi, my package home:plater kicad based on Science kicad, which I need for money making work, eshceema gui freezes after my box goes on standby which I suspect without lengthy debugging is due to wxGTK. I see that the openSUSE wxGTK is actually wxPython and not even wxGTK although the url in the spec file points to the wxwidgets site. Kicad is supposed to use wxWidgets but this is only available from packman and causes problems with other packages which build from wxGTK (wxPython). Why are there all of these different types of wx's?

[opensuse-packaging] file list check enabled again
by Stephan Kulow 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hi, Ludwig re-enabled the check if a package owns all its directories and we found quite a number of packages failing because of this (the check was disabled between may and november, we used to have it before). I collected the affected packages in my branch project, so you can check out https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=home%3Acoolo%3Abranches%… The check is currently re-disabled in factory, but creates a warning that the check is re-re-enabled on december 8th, so please help out.

[opensuse-packaging] new, problematic dependencies for syslog-ng, brought in by 06-check-installtest
by Peter Czanik 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hello, When trying to bring my syslog-ng package up to the freshly released 3.2.1, I ran into some strange problems. First it complainted about missing boot.udev, so I added udev to BuildRequires. Then it complained, that nothing provides "network", so I added sysconfig too. Now I get this, and don't know how to proceed: ... testing for pre/postinstall scripts that are not idempotent Updating /etc/sysconfig/syslog... Updating /etc/sysconfig/syslog... Updating /etc/sysconfig/syslog... insserv: FATAL: service network is missed in the runlevels 2 to use service syslog insserv: exiting now! postuninstall script of syslog-ng-3.2.1-1.i586.rpm failed Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] New package for review: mosquitto
by Roger Light 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi, I've created a package that I'd be grateful if someone reviewed. The package is for mosquitto, an MQTT broker. MQTT provides a method of carrying out messaging using a publish/subscribe model. It is lightweight, both in terms of bandwidth usage and ease of implementation. This makes it particularly useful at the edge of the network where a sensor or other simple device may be implemented using an arduino for example. The package produces multiple binary rpms for the broker, clients and client libraries in C, C++ and Python, so it's a fair bet I've got something wrong somewhere - I'm only a beginner at working with rpms although I've had this package on the build service for a while. I'd like this to move into devel:network (unless there is a more suitable project) and ultimately factory and have a request open to this end ( https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/53543 ) The package is in the project home:oojah:factory : https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Aoojah%3Afactory I'd appreciate any feedback.

[opensuse-packaging] How to package perl modules in a compatible way?
by Thorsten Kukuk 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi, if you look at our spec files for perl modules, we use quite some macros like %perl_make_install or %perl_gen_filelist, which does not exist on any other RPM based distribution. What is the proposed or good way to write spec files, which works on Fedora, Mandriva and RHEL, too? Using our cpanspec doesn't look like a clever idea.
