[opensuse-packaging] How to create a man page in your spec file.
by Dave Plater 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

I thought I should share this with the list. Factory rpmlint check now wants to see a man page for everything under /usr/bin, I don't know if anybody else has tried this, I used this method to create a man page for blenderplayer in the blender package :- # Generate man page with help2man help2man --version-string="%{version}" --help-option="-h" -n "a utility for previewing .blend files" -s 1 -m "User Commands" -S "Stichting Blender Foundation" -o blenderplayer.1 %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/'blenderplayer -h ""' Take especial note of the single quotes around the 'blenderplayer -h ""' expression, if they aren't there help2man can't get any output because rpmbuild directs blenderplayer to /dev/null. You don't necessarily have to put in the -h in "'blenderplayer -h ""'" it was the only thing that stopped it from looking for something to play first. Which wiki should I put this in?

[opensuse-packaging] Help there's a problem with https://build.opensuse.org/package/show? action menu.
by Dave Plater 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

I am getting very frustrated with the build service : I can work around checkin to newly relinked packages that wants to mangle my spec file and delete the contents of local copies but now I'm pulling my hair out. I cannot access the "Alter Package Information" item in the "Actions" menu link in the overview page, "only report bug", in packages where I'm maintainer but not a project maintainer. I can alter the information via "osc meta pkg graphics openCOLLADA -e" and it appears after about 15 min to 1 hour but I cant do anything in the web ui except report a bug to myself. I tried a message to the build service list. This morning (UTC +2) I tried the #opensuse-buildservice irc and I got this : <davepl> Hi, can somebody help with a bug in the webui part of the build service. I can only access report bug on the action menu, when logged in via https://build.opensuse.org/ and https://build.opensuse.org/stage/. This happens in all packages where I'm package maintainer but not a project maintainer. ie. The Action menu link on the overview page in "multimedia:libs jack" gives me : report bug, delete package, edit package [11:12] <davepl> information, submit package, branch package and a second report bug at the bottom.The Action menu link on the overview page in "graphics blender" gives me : report bug only. I'm a project maintainer in multimedia:libs but only a package maintainer of graphics blender. I can use the command line osc meta pkg graphics openCOLLADA -e (the package I actually want to change) and the change goes through and further command line [11:12] <davepl> osc meta pkg shows the change but I can't see it in the web ui (yet). If I try "osc meta pkg graphics dcraw -e" I get "no permission to change package" which is expected. So we aren't back to normal.

[opensuse-packaging] gdk-pixbuf-csource and svg in openSUSE 11.3
by Mariusz Fik 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Anyone have idea about building mangler package for openSUSE 11.3? Part of build log: for f in *.svg ; do \ id=`echo $f | perl -pe 's/^(.*)\..*$/$1/'`; \ list="$list $id $f"; \ done ; \ gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --build-list $list > mangler-icons.h failed to load "black_circle.svg": Couldn't recognize the image file format for file 'black_circle.svg' For oS:Factory I changed BuildRequires from gdk-pixbuf to gdk-pixbuf-loader- rsvg. For openSUSE 11.2 normal gdk-pixbuf package works but for 11.3 - don't. Any clue? -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

[opensuse-packaging] drop %suse_update_desktop_files macro
by Pavol Rusnak 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hi all! In order to make our specs more cross-distro-friendly we would like to drop %suse_update_desktop_files macro. It is currently being discussed in this feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310621 . Ludwig suggested that all translation magic we do could be moved into brp-script instead of doing it in %install phase. Is it possible? Do we have an expert in this area who could help porting it? :-) Once this is done, we can replace %suse_update_desktop_files with desktop-file-install if needed (but for most cases removing the call should be enough). -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9 prusnak[at]opensuse.org Czech Republic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Library naming dilemma
by Dave Plater 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hi, I'm packaging openCOLLADA which consists of libraries needed by the soon to be released blender-2.5x. ATM I have the libs in a separate sub package for each and a devel package. I see that I'm allowed to package all the libraries in one rpm, which one is preferable? My other question is - although I've packaged libOpenCOLLADAFramework.so.0.0.775 in sub package libOpenCOLLADAFramework0 I still get an rpmlint warning - libOpenCOLLADAFramework0.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-missing-lib and libOpenCOLLADAFramework0.x86_64: W: no-soname /usr/lib64/libOpenCOLLADAFramework.so.0.0.775. What am I doing wrong? I get these warnings for each lib. Package is at home:plater:blender openCOLLADA Thanks Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Do not use AM_SILENT_RULES in packages
by Cristian Rodríguez 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hi: I see an increasing amount of stuff using automake's new AM_SILENT_RULES feature, remember to use --disable-silent-rules or "make V=1" when you submit the package for build. This feature breaks current build checks that rely on analizing the output of the build log.
