[opensuse-packaging] packaging openoffice extensions oxt
by Denny Beyer 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Dear all, does anyone have experience packaging openoffice extensions? - althogh it might not be a bad idea to package openoffice extentions in general for system wide installation and usage - in this case, I only need it for one/two required extensions. Apparently, something like that exists in ubuntu. Telling from what I found the following might be possible: - set requirement to have openoffice installed - take the oxt file and copy it to the machine - take the correct path and install oxt with the opensuse packager on the command line called unopkg - call: /path/to/unopkg add --shared my-extension.oxt oxt files are renamed zip archives, so in another scenario one could just rename the archive, extract it and install the files in the right location ... but I'm not sure how to register the extension. Please share your idea/experience. cheers, Denny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Automatic reminder mails for Factory submission before releases
by Vincent Untz 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi, I'm pretty sure that many of us often realize too late they should have submitted their packages to Factory before a milestone. To help with this, I've created a cron job that will send a reminder mail to opensuse-packaging the Wednesday of the week before a release. For example, for Milestone 1, we would have received this mail on Wednesday August 25th: ==== Subject: [reminder] openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 1 is next week Hello all, openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 1 will be released next week, on Thursday 02 September 2010. Please submit your packages before Friday afternoon (UTC time) to make sure they will get included in this release. Leaf packages submitted during the week-end might also get accepted on Monday. For a quick overview of the openSUSE Roadmap, please see: http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap Thanks, -- openSUSE Roadmap Reminder ==== (improvements to the text are welcome) Assuming it works fine, we will receive a mail for Milestone 2.

[opensuse-packaging] Recommends/Requires for lang files
by Andreas Jaeger 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

For -lang files that only contain .mo files (translations) and no doc files etc., we should use Recommends and not Requires. This allows users that run an English only system to remove the lang files completely. Please keep this in mind when packaging and change the spec files. I've just gone through a couple of packages and will send submitrequests for these, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

by Denny Beyer 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Dear all, I need to set an environment variable for package scala in order to make it work properly. How do I achieve that? I checked the openjdk package, but couldn't find out how it's been done (to set JKD_Home=....) Any help will be much appreciated. -Denny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
