[opensuse-packaging] New top-level project: utilities
by Pascal Bleser 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Marcus was so kind to create a new top-level project: utilities I requested (*) such a project because there wasn't any appropriate place to maintain packages of command-line utilities, such as cpipe, mlocate, lockrun, likwid, pfm, pv, ttyrec, ack, calcurse, cdu, clpbar, cpuid, di, dtach, gcp, jobqueue, ts, mguesser, ncdu, nkmkpassword, pipemeter, progress, rand, rlwrap, tmux, xjobs, waitfor, ..... (just throwing a few I have in the queue for that project). Anyhow, the idea is to maintain (supposedly "small") command-line utilities in there that don't really fit any other category (server, monitoring, web, irc, ...) If anyone else wants to be maintainer, please poke me.

[opensuse-packaging] Applying a patch for a .deb build?
by Greg Freemyer 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

All, I've got a small package that builds for both rpms and debs. I've got patch I need to apply to the source. No problem in a specfile, but how do I do that for the deb.control file?

by Mariusz Fik 18 Nov '10

Hi, I improved a little bit a skeleton.spec from vim-base. spec-cleaner will help a bit to cleanup our .spec's but why can't we start writing 'clean&transparent' .spec files from the beginning? -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

[opensuse-packaging] Where is find_lang documented?
by Paul Elliott 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Where is %find_lang documented? What parameters does it take and what does it do? I am not looking for cargo cult programming examples, but real documentation. google is useless it gives the address of a gazzilion spec files that use it. Why is it that packaging can only be learned as folklore? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

[opensuse-packaging] /etc/sysconfig/foo is not allowed .. not even as %ghost ?
by Cristian Rodríguez 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi: When you remove a package that adds sysconfig files, /etc/sysconfig/foo are kept on the system, even i9f you didnt modified them. I am missing something of the respective packages should own those files but mark them as %ghost ?

[opensuse-packaging] rpmlint: sh: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory
by Andreas Jaeger 14 Nov '10

14 Nov '10

I see quite often when building (check e.g. osc remotebuildlog home:a_jaeger:branches:openSUSE:Factory haveged Factory_snapshot i586) the following: RPMLINT report: =============== sh: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory but this is followed by normal rpmlint output. Python really does not seem to be installed in the chroot. Any ideas what's going on here?

I am trying create python2 program.
