[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] %find_lang now removes unsupported locales
by Stephan Kulow 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi, I made up my mind how to track supported locales and instead of adding more and more /usr/share/locale directories as upstream projects come up with them, I went and made %find_lang remove unsupported languages (and I will remove a lot of them after 11.4). The check that removes the language will output how many strings are removed, so we can check how many strings new languages bring and I would require 10.000 strings (for comparision, yast modules contain ~20.000 strings).

[opensuse-packaging] rpmlint-checks: adding new gnome/desktop-related checks
by Vincent Untz 13 Feb '11

13 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] RC1 checkin deadline this week!!
by Stephan Kulow 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hi, We would like to release RC1 next week, but the current state of factory doesn't really make this obvious ;( There are tons of packages either failing to build or have unsubmitted changes in their devel projects or (even worse) have submits pending to their devel projects. Please everyone, check http://bit.ly/h6qHlO and look out for your projects and packages.

[opensuse-packaging] Where do the macros "BUILD_ORIG" and "BUILD_ORIG_ADDON" come from?
by Dave Plater 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Putting %dump in the spec file doesn't show up anything. Another thing, what's the point of a macro like %glib2_gsettings_schema_requires which expands to Requires(post): glib2-tools and Requires(postun): glib2-tools and breaks the 11.3 build of a package? ie. gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad.

[opensuse-packaging] Proposal for gstreamer
by Dave Plater 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

I now know why I've stayed away from maintaining gstreamer. It's members are strewn across from multimedia:libs to kde. I'm trying to get the < 11.4 members to build, first problem was no gobject-introspection was new enough, I aggregated it from GNOME:Factory but no 11.2 rpms so I've linked it. Next somebody put pkg-config() s in the Buildrequires of a few packages without a suse_version conditional to take care of 11.2, see opensuse-kde mail subject "Gstreamer update (opensuse+packman) break pulseaudio on 11.2 / 4.4.4 Stable" this is when I discover python-gstreamer lives in kde. My proposal is take gstreamer out of multimedia and (I see GNOME:Factory already has it) move it to where somebody cares about it in kde. ATM I feel like the only multimedia maintainer, I'm getting an ulcer and I don't get paid.

[opensuse-packaging] Need help with xine-lib opensuse-codecs-installer relation.
by Dave Plater 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi, I'm working on xine-lib, trying to get it to work crippled with available codec's and no internal ffmpeg, also in conjunction with xine-ui which I'm just about ready to submit, when I tested the new non x command line cacaxine on an mpeg2 from ffmpeg -target pal-dvd two stage conversion, avi and it failed to start the codec installer. There;s a patch which I painstakingly adapted to pre 1.2 - 1.1.90 version that has a lot of fixes in it which is about all I know of the codec installer. Can somebody have a look (preferable for quick resolution) or explain how the relationship between the codec installer and libxine works, don't worry I have a good low level understanding of such operations but my c, c++ and other scripting languages which there are quite a few is only just past the kindergarten stage but I'm a knowledge junkie. Must also mention that I've had far more experience with cmake, scons and waf than automake which normally just works. Package at home:plater xine-lib same as the multimedia:apps (yes xine-lib is in apps not libs, wasn't me) package. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xine-lib&project=home%3Apla… The project currently contains the 1.1.19 version, which is the one I tested with cacaxine, which doesn't work. Interestingly enough the x xine ui plays the file perfectly so maybe the codec installer works quietly in the background or somehow the ui picks up the ffmpeg codec source I have or fame and the caca one doesn't. I think the codec installer is important for non kde4 guis. Thanks Dave P.
