[opensuse-packaging] How to give the program access to RTC of Alsa Timer?
by Ilya Chernykh 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

How to give a program access to /dev/rtc or alsa timer without starting it as root? I made a package with an application which requires this but I do not want to set up it such a way that an ordinary user could not use it. What preparations should I do in the install-time to get it work for any user? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Out of memory during build
by Ilya Chernykh 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi!1 I am trying to build the Free Orion game in OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/stage/package/show?package=freeorion&project=hom… The 32-bit version builds well, but 64-bit version exits saying that GCC ran out of memory. In other projects the same package (without differences) was built successfully (although not published). So what should I do to avoid this error? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

NEW CLASSES: :class:`cssutils.css.PropertyValue` replaces CSSValue and CSSValueList - is iterable (iterates over all single Value objects which in soruce CSS might be separated by "," "/" or " " - a comma separated list of IDENT values is no longer handled as a single String (e.g. ``Arial, sans-serif``) :class:`cssutils.css.Value` replaces CSSPrimitiveValue with separate ``value`` and ``type`` info (value is typed, so e.g. string for e.g. STRING, IDENT or URI values, int or float) and is base class for more specific values like: :class:`cssutils.css.URIValue` replaces CSSPrimitiveValue, additional attribute ``uri`` :class:`cssutils.css.DimensionValue` replaces CSSPrimitiveValue, additional attribute ``dimension`` :class:`cssutils.css.ColorValue` replaces CSSPrimitiveValue, additional attribute ``red``, ``green``, ``blue`` and ``alpha`` **TODO: Not yet complete, only rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla and has values use this object and color and alpha information no done yet!** :class:`cssutils.css.CSSFunction` replaces CSSPrimitiveValue function, not complete yet also renamed ``ExpressionValue`` to :class:`cssutils.css.MSValue` with new API Roelof -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Cannot get my repository published
by Ilya Chernykh 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

After a user branched one package from my home repository, I cannot get it published. He disabled the publishing of his branch, but for some reason the package in my home repo also now cannot get published. It hangs is a "build jobs exist" state indefinitely. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Incorrect locale?
by Ilya Chernykh 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

When I run an application with Russian UTF-8 locale, it displays garbage symbols in the menu. The same is with other Russian locales such as KOI-8 (but the garbage characters are different). Only with English locale the interface appears correctly. I wonder what may be the cause: incorrect locale files or build options? Can it be corrected? Maybe the locale files should be converted? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Checking overlapping files
by Ilya Chernykh 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi! As I recall, on Ubuntu you could not install two packages which include overlapping files. Here on OpenSUSE it is possible, and there is even no warning: the files just go overwritten. When one package is removed the files are removed as well even if used by the other package. I do not know if this behavior is good or not but is there a possibility to check the overlapping files in the build time so to know that your package does not have common files with other ones? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Problems with linking
by Ilya Chernykh 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi! I have problems with linking when building KVim. It builds well for 11.1 but not for 11.2 and further. It seems the linker does not see the very basic libraries such as qt and kdelibs despite them being explicitely included in the linker's call. Here is the link to the build logs: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kvim&project=home%3AAnsus%3… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] strange diff file
by Ilya Chernykh 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi! I am trying to port one package from Ubuntu. But is seems that they incorporated all the package in one huge diff file. The diff does not change any files, it introduces many new files, both binary and textual. There are no other files in the package. So I wonder how can I extract this package from this diff? I tried just "patch diffname.diff" in an empty directory in hope this would create all the files described in the diff but it seems this technique does not work: the patch utility simply hangs or goes into infinite loop with no response and no activity. So what can I do? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
