[opensuse-packaging] remove libtool from prjconfig
by Stephan Kulow 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hi, You may have noticed: I added libtool as buildrequire to many packages. Now that I'm through with my list, I would like to remove libtool from the projconfig. After that you need to buildrequire libtool if you need it otherwise the package will fail, but unless something slipped this should not be the case for any package in factory. Next stop: automake Greetings, Stephan -- Sent from openSUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] pom2spec
by Duncan Mac-Vicar P. 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

To revive the discussion about pom2spec :-) I was playing with it and it is exactly the kind of pragmatism one is missing when dealing with Java. Nice work Pascal. I remember there where a few topics open when Pascal presented it in the mailing list. - Naming while org.apache.maven.doxia.doxia-sink-api is already long, do you think it makes sense to prefix this with java- or jar- ? (like rubygems- do). I do think the whole groupId artifactId is the better way, but I am not sure if in all cases it would be needed. May be one could specify a shorter way (java-doxia-sink-api) in the command line, when ambiguity is not likely. Requires and Provides would still work using the Provides: java(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-sink-api) kind of string. - Provides. Right now it uses something like java(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-sink-api). I just want to point out that fedora is already using mvn(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-sink-api). Do we want to interoperate across them? Other points: - Binaries. For example: $ mkdir org.scala-tools.sbt.sbt-launch $ cd org.scala-tools.sbt.sbt-launch $ pom2spec call again and specify the exact version, one of: - 0.7.1 - 0.7.2 $ pom2spec 0.7.2 In this case, the built rpm misses the %{_bindir}/sbt which is just a call to java -Xmx512M -jar $longdir/sbt-launch.jar "$@" It would be a nice feature to tell pom2spec something like -bin sbt and it could create the script automatically. - One question... how is the classpath supposed to work? I see some .classpath files put together to the jars, but empty. - Why an artifact like Vaadin creates 2 rpms for the binary and 2 for the sources?

[opensuse-packaging] (In)Consistent Font Package Names
by Thomas Schraitle 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

Hi, over the years, I've collected a bunch of great fonts in my home repository. However, it seems we don't have a consistent naming schema for fonts. Although the Packaging Guidelines[1] links to the old Wiki[2], the information therein is printed in red and I'm not sure how useful is this nowadays. This has some interesting effects. If you search for fonts like this: # zypper se font you will get _some_ but not all. For example, the popular Linux Libertine and DejaVu fonts are not listed. A user has to _know_ the name. IMHO this is not very intuitive and userfriendly. On the other side, we have lots of fonts which are very inconsistently named. Here are some examples: farsifonts fonts-arabic freefont gnu-unifont indic-fonts intlfonts-ttf xorg-x11-fonts From a usability perspective, it would be very convenient to have a consistent naming schema with a specific prefix (or suffix), for example a "-fonts" suffix. Ubuntu has the prefix "ttf-" for their packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty&section=all&arch=any&searchon… Fedora has the suffix "-fonts" for their packages: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/list/*-fonts*?_csrf_token=b27215… Another issue: Do we have a special repository dedicated only to fonts? I couldn't find any... Do you think this is useful? What do you think? -------- [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines [2] http://old-en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Fonts_Policy#Package_layout_for_fonts -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH (o< Maxfeldstrasse 5 /\\ Documentation Specialist 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v http://www.suse.com http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/thomas-schraitle/ SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] About packaging twice
by Stephan Kulow 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi, We have for a long time a warning in the post-build-checks, that is obviously greatly ignored, so I plan to make it fatal. I'm talking about e.g. WARNING: berkeleydb: /usr/share/doc/packages/berkeleydb/LICENSE already packaged in package berkeleydb-manual WARNING: berkeleydb: /usr/share/doc/packages/berkeleydb/README already packaged in package berkeleydb-manual In the end it doesn't matter to rpm if a file is installed by one or two rpms as long as there is no conflict. But a) such conflicts easily arise during package update and b) if you review the WARNINGs there are just too many cases where this is a bug (people "splitting out" -lang packages and still package the translation in the main package). There are 3930 of such duplicated files in 72 packages and I rather have these 72 packages fixed. The only problem there is (and very likely the reason this WARNING is not an ERROR): packages conflicting on rpm level are fine to package files twice - think of branding-upstream vs branding-openSUSE. So we need to work on this before we can make this fatal. And this will also be the way to signal that you planned to package the file twice: use a rpm conflict.

by Sascha Manns 30 Nov '11

Hello Mates, atm we have the boinc-client in the network Project. Sadly i haven't enough time to maintain that in future. So i'm trying to sell it via this list. If you have interest to continue the maintainance just answer in that thread. If no new maintainer was found until 30.11.11 i'm thinking about to remove the package from the project and propose to use the original Linux Installer from the Project Site.

[opensuse-packaging] Netcdf (1.4.3) hdf5 (1.8.8) dependency
by Filipe 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

First of all sorry for screwing up the mail thread. (I had a crash in my e-mail client that forced me to copy-and-paste the messages from the web.) > Filipe > > The best thing to find out what is going wrong would be to: > - "osc build" on your own machine > - once the error is reached, you can "osc chroot" and get in the build > root, change to /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/* and check the content of > config.log for specific errors related to this. > > Hope that helps. If not, just ask, and I'll try to walk with you through > it (you can also find me on irc / freenode as dimstar) > > Dominique Thanks a lot for the "osc chroot"! Sometimes I feel that using osc (and OBS) is like driving an alien space ship, full of nice features, but I cannot read the manual ;-). I think I found the problem and I'm fixing it right now. I based on Fedora packages and they rename H5pubconf.h to H5pubconf-32.h and H5pubconf-64.h respectively. However, I forgot to add a sed line to change the inside of the file as well. "sed -i -e s/H5pubconf.h/H5pubconf-64.h/ ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_includedir}/H5public.h" I'm testing this right now. Thanks again. Thanks again for showing me the way to do this myself, Filipe. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Netcdf (1.4.3) hdf5 (1.8.8) dependency
by Filipe 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, This is probably a simple thing that I cannot see due to my ignorance at packaging, but just updated the hdf5 to its 1.8.8 version and that broke netcdf 1.4.3, I get the following error: checking hdf5.h usability... no checking hdf5.h presence... no checking for hdf5.h... no configure: error: NetCDF-4 requires HDF5, but hdf5.h cannot be found. Although, hdf5.h exists and the hdf5-devel *does* install it. Also, I do know that netcdf 1.4.3 *is* compatibly with hdf5 1.8.8. Can anyone help my find where my mistake is?

[opensuse-packaging] How to include two compressed packages as source?
by Marguerite Su 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Hi packaging, I want to know how to include two or more compressed packages as source in specfile. I know I can use Source0, Source1, blabla...but normally Source0+ is .desktop, AUTHOR and etc. I saw choqok does so, but indeed the second package is some part of the first like: choqok-1.2.tar.bz2 extracts to choqok-1.2, choqok-lang.tar.bz2 extracts to choqok-1.2/po/ Now I want to include packages of different directory like: /usr/share/icons and /home/marguerite/bin Can I able to do that? how can I switch between them later using popd/pushd or other commands? please write in simple and plain english with such examples...it's really advanced knowledge for a newbie&girl.

[opensuse-packaging] hdf5 1.8.8
by Filipe Pires Alvarenga Fernandes 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Hi, I'm trying to update the hdf5 package to its latest version (1.8.8). I've branched it here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=hdf5&project=home%3Aocefpaf… and I'm having issues with the rpmlint Warnings and Error at the end of this e-mail. I have a some questions regarding the rpmlint: (Please bear in mind that I not a skilled packager nor a programmer.) 1) I notice that other distro (e.g. Fedora do not pacth for those warnings) 2) How bad are those errors below? They need to be patched or is there a way around? 3) I do not have the skills to pacth those, in this case who should I approach for help? Thanks, for the attention, Filipe RPMLINT: I: Function call uses possibly exploitable format stringsW: hdf5 format-security h5import.c:1497, 1507 I: Program is using implicit definitions of functions getting pointers or implemented by macros. These functions need to use their correct prototypes to allow correct argument passing on e.g. x86_64 . - Implicit memory/string functions need #include <string.h>. - Implicit *printf functions need #include <stdio.h>. - Implicit *printf functions need #include <stdio.h>. - Implicit *read* functions need #include <unistd.h>. - Implicit *recv* functions need #include <sys/socket.h>.W: hdf5 implicit-pointer-decl H5LTanalyze.c:2004 I: Program returns random data in a functionE: hdf5 no-return-in-nonvoid-function H5LTanalyze.l:187E: hdf5 no-return-in-nonvoid-function dt_arith.c:3473E: hdf5 no-return-in-nonvoid-function h5diff_common.c:72 I: Program returns random data in a functionE: hdf5 no-return-in-nonvoid-function H5LTanalyze.l:187E: hdf5 no-return-in-nonvoid-function dt_arith.c:3473E: hdf5 no-return-in-nonvoid-function h5diff_common.c:72 ps: hdf5 is in important package for scientific data storage, it is important (at least in my view) that an important distro like opensuse offer its latest version. ***************************************************** Filipe Pires Alvarenga Fernandes, PhD Candidate School of Marine Science and Technology University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth 706 Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA 02744 Email: falvarengafernandes(a)umassd.edu ocefpaf(a)gmail.com http://ocefpaf.tiddlyspot.com/ ***************************************************** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org
