[opensuse-packaging] namespace for system users?
by Ludwig Nussel 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hi, There's a request to add a system user 'tor': https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/96531 There is no name space separation between system users and actual logins. So especially for short names like the above there is a chance that it could collide with an already existing user name on some system. Having a system service running with the uid of an actual user isn't desirable. So what about mandating an extra prefix or suffix to (new) system user names like 'daemon' or 'service'? Ie in … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] don't understand the new licenses
by Sascha Manns 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hello mates, i'm trying to build a new packageversion. The old Licenses Field was "GPLv3 or later". If i'm going to: http://license.opensuse.org/ and place GPLv3 there, the Site proposes to use "GPL-3". If i'm placing this into the Licenses Field i become: kvirustotal-lang.noarch: W: invalid-license GPL-3 kvirustotal.x86_64: W: invalid-license GPL-3 kvirustotal.src: W: invalid-license GPL-3 The specified license string is not recognized. Please refer to http://license.opensuse.org/ for the … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Is there a quick way to test all Requires are in factory?
by Greg Freemyer 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

All, More than once I have submitted something to factory that didn't have all the requires and buildrequires pieces already there. Is there a simple test I can run on the package to verify that before I submit a new package? In this specific case, I want to submit security -- log2timeline. I've been slowly submitting all the pre-reqs and I think I finally have everything in factory.

[opensuse-packaging] Submitting multiple changes against phpunit packages
by Robert Munteanu 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hi, I've branched server:php:applications to https://build.opensuse.org/project/packages?project=home%3Arobert_munteanu%… and updated a couple of packages, fixing https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734936 . These packages are in a dependency tree, and I'm not sure how to submit requests for them. Should I start with the leaves and once they are accepted submit the parents, or should I submit them all at once and mention that they should be reviewed/merged together? Thanks, Robert -… [View More]

Re: [opensuse-packaging] %if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1210 not working?
by Lutz Thuns 02 Jan '12

Am 07.12.2011 05:50, schrieb Cristian Rodríguez: > Use > 1140 instead ;-) Guess what? ;) Doesn't work either. I've changed to the following: %if 0%{?suse_version} <= 1140 %patch0 -p1 %endif %patch1 -p1 %patch2 -p1 %patch4 -p1 %patch5 -p1 %if 0%{?suse_version} > 1140 %patch6 -p1 %endif So patch0 should affect all releases from including 11.4 and downwards. patch6 should affect all releases above 11.4. Again, patch6 is only applied in Factory, not 12.1. Maybe the build target … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Global SRPM Centos compatibility: _docdir issues
by H. David Ross 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

I'm attempting to build an RPM for a more recent version of the global tag suite than currently available for Centos 6.x, using SRPMs from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=global&project=openSUSE%3AF… OBS Global Project . Several minor issues related to the _docdir macro generate build/rpmlint errors. It wouldn't be difficult to hack the spec/config info allowing the build to complete. This my first venture in to RPM development/troubleshooting. I'd rather make a small … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Re: [opensuse-buildservice] %clean section in rpm packages in OBS
by Joop Boonen 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Hi Nelson, This sounds great. Does anyone know if a wiki page will be created / updated about how spec files should look like? As I look at your reply, I'm thinking about SLE(S|D)10 and maybe even SLE(S|D)11 they won't be handling a missing %clean correctly as their rpm is 4.4.2. So I wonder if it's a good idea to remove %clean now? Regards, Joop.

[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] Check in review delay: Vacation Christmas and New Year`s Eve 2011/2012
by Lars Vogdt 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Dear Packagers, during the time from the 24th Dec 2011 until 08th Jan 2012 (Christmas/New Year´s Eve) many teams and departments inside the SUSE Linux Products GmbH will be on vacation or can only offer limited services. This affects also the "autobuild-team" you might know as reviewers for your packages submitted to Factory (and other released distributions). While some of us are still in the office to get the most annoying and security bugs fixed and out to you as our customers, most of … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Obsoleted %suse_update_desktop_file
by Stephan Kulow 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hi, Over the last couple of days I reworked update-desktop-files not to rely on an explicit %suse_update_desktop_file call. Instead Factory will have an additional brp script that trims the translations from .desktop files. So: if you can live with an rpmlint warning on older distributions (I submited a rpmlint with the warning gone for factory), you can skip the macro now if you call it without options. The most useful option of the macro should be the -n option now, as this one will mark … [View More]
