[opensuse-packaging] Need help with rpmlint error
by Dave Plater 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi, I've come across an rpmlint error which I don't understand :- snd.x86_64: W: executable-stack /usr/bin/snd The binary declares the stack as executable. Executable stack is usually an error as it is only needed if the code contains GCC trampolines or similar constructs which uses code on the stack. One common source for needlessly executable stack cases are object files built from assembler files which don't define a proper .note.GNU-stack section. This is from multimedia:apps snd, I've just updated to the latest version, the old one was failing in factory build.

[opensuse-packaging] packaging mongoDB
by Robert Schweikert 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi, I am attempting to package mongoDb and have some questions. The source tarball has an rpm directory with a spec file (mongo.spec). I created my own spec file that contains some minor changes w.r.t. naming but other than that is pretty much the same as the .spec file supplied by the project. Was this the right thing to do or is there a better way? I left the rpm directory including the spec file in the tarball (which I re-packed) and when building the project (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mongoDB&project=home%3Arjsc…) OBS is running into a conflict between the spec file of the project and the one I created. This ties into the previous question I guess, but I'll ask anyway. Should I just get rid of the original spec file, or rename it, or should I get rid of my spec file? But then I think I need a spec file to get things going, just uploading a tarball is not useful. I linked js from the OSSP project. Initially I had an expansion error w.r.t. the missing js-devel package. Thus I take it if I wanted mongoDB in the distribution I'd also have to get the developers of the OSSP project to submit the js package to the distribution, correct? Help is appreciated.

[opensuse-packaging] More strange rpmlint warnings.
by Dave Plater 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi, I've found a few more strange factory rpmlint warnings :- rosegarden4.src: W: source-or-patch-not-compressed bz2 rosegarden-10.02-desktop.patch rosegarden4.src: W: source-or-patch-not-compressed bz2 rosegarden-10.02-rpmoptflags.patch rosegarden4.src: W: source-or-patch-not-compressed bz2 rosegarden-10.02-filepaths.patch rosegarden4.src: W: source-or-patch-not-compressed bz2 rosegarden-10.02-plugin-lib64path.patch A source archive or file in your package is not compressed using the bz2 compression method (doesn't have the bz2 extension). rosegarden4.x86_64: W: invalid-url DistURL obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia:apps/openSUSE_Factory/a92ee5cade35ab948… rosegarden4.src: W: invalid-url DistURL obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia:apps/openSUSE_Factory/a92ee5cade35ab948… The value should be a valid, public HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL. snd.x86_64: W: manpage-not-compressed bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/snd.1.gz This manual page is not compressed with the bz2 compression method (does not have the bz2 extension). If the compression does not happen automatically when the package is rebuilt, make sure that you have the appropriate rpm helper and/or config packages for your target distribution installed and try rebuilding again; if it still does not happen automatically, you can compress this file in the %install section of the spec file. I get these warnings in multimedia:apps rosegarden4 and snd (snd doesn't have patches), the biggest rosegarden4 patch is a massive 1114 bytes large and the smallest is 716 bytes large. I haven't tried it but 716 bytes might even be larger if compressed. The man page for snd is compressed by rpm and I wasn't aware that bz2 compression was available for man pages.

[opensuse-packaging] Weird rpmlint warnings
by Petr Uzel 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi, with new rpmlint, I started getting some new warnings, some of them are quite weird IMO: -------- 1) prereq is deprecated: PreReq: info This comes from PreReq: %install_info_prereq , which is suggested by packaging conventions. [1] Does the warning mean that the PreReq: could be safely replaced with Requires: ? [2] If so, the packaging conventions should be updated to reflect this. -------- 2) W: source-or-patch-not-compressed bz2 parted-mac.patch I really doubt it makes any sense to compress most of the patches. I think this warning should be disabled (or at least applied only if the patch is bigger than some treshold). -------- 3) W: manpage-not-compressed bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/parted.8.gz W: infopage-not-compressed bz2 /usr/share/info/parted.info.gz These two are really funny especially given it is some RPM/build magic that (AFAIK) does the compression - apparently using gzip.

[opensuse-packaging] Django (python-django) package
by aledr 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi listmates! I got a branch of python-django at home:aledr:branches and updated it to 1.2-beta-1. I've also done some other changes: - Moved autocomplete file from /etc/profile.d to /etc/bash_completion.d (can we remove Django-1.2-completion-only-for-bash.patch?); - Spec file cleaned with spec-cleaner; - Using INSTALLED_FILES instead of declaring files; - And some minor changes declared in the changes file. Please, comment on this, and If there are no objections I shall send a sr as soon as 1.2 get a stable release on the road.

[opensuse-packaging] No libpng-devel in factory is causing a serious blockage.
by Dave Plater 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi, could somebody with maintainer rights for libpng provide libpng-devel for factory, it's blocking gtk, cairo and libqt4 and preventing me from working on updating multimedia:apps and libs packages. The expansion errors I'm getting are:- nothing provides libpng12.so.0 needed by gtk2, nothing provides libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0) needed by gtk2, nothing provides libpng12.so.0 needed by cairo, nothing provides libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0) needed by cairo, nothing provides libpng-devel needed by cairo-devel, nothing provides libpng12.so.0 needed by cups-libs, nothing provides libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0) needed by cups-libs and expansion error: nothing provides libpng-devel needed by libqt4-devel, nothing provides libpng12.so.0()(64bit) needed by libqt4-x11, nothing provides libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0)(64bit) needed by libqt4-x11 Maybe I'm diagnosing this wrong.
