[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] blog post series started for rpmlint and brp warnings / errors
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi everybody, We know them all and some of us get frustrated by them: lints and brp checks aborting our builds, even though make and make install perfectly passed through (well, one correction here already: APPARENTLY perfectly passed). I do not argue against the checks at all and I think they are a good thing (tm). But sometimes they can be a little bit cryptic and most of the time require work. so I started a series of blog posts (2 so far) which try to address them. Please bare with me, I'm no hard core crack coder, but I will try to summarize the usual causes and solutions to a problem. Not in every case will the provided solution fit and if you're not sure about correctness in your package: discuss the matter with upstream. Anyway, once you produce a patch, you should always make sure upstream gets it too. So what were the blog posts about so far? Part 1: how to fix brp and rpmlint warnings ? today: Expression compares a char* pointer with a string literal http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=151 Part 2: how to fix brp and rpmlint warnings ? today: I: Program causes undefined operation (likely same variable used twice and post/pre incremented in the same expression) http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=178 As noted on the first entry, i will gladly take recommendations for which errors you would like to see an entry. I will try to write them up, likely 1 or 2 per week (I am actually not that much of a writer... 0 Hope the series is useful to you... If it saves you a few minutes here and there, then it is.

[opensuse-packaging] dropping licenses
by Stephan Kulow 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, The licenses package is 300KB on the live cd and the only files linked into are gpl licenses - in addition it's very unclear if links to licenses are really ok. So I submitted a fix for all packages in factory I could find using licenses - for some I had to include a license. The licenses package will soon disappear, so please review and forward the requests.

[opensuse-packaging] Buildservice problem?
by Stefan Seyfried 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hi, is there a maintenance window? Where was it announced (so that I could subscribe to the feed)? How long will it take? Generally there seems to be nothing like a status page for openSUSE services. Would be genuinely useful. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] A .desktop file uses icon from another package
by Ilya Chernykh 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hi! I have a question. I want to a package which heavily uses icons from another one. But the OBS system does not allow to built it: it says "icon file not installed" even though the dependency on a package that contains the necessary icon is included. What can I do to successfully install this package? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Python 3.2 build problems
by Dave Plater 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I'm busy fighting with the python3-base-3.2 build, which seems to be unpredictable atm, due to blender (against the protests of distro packagers) switching to that version. The 11.4 x86_64 build fails in devel:languages:python:Factory but all the others succeed, I've had varying build results by linking home:plater:blender python3-base to home:plater:blender python3 and devel:languages:python:Factory python3, when linked to devel:languages:python:Factory python3 it mimics the devel build but when linked to home:plater:blender python3 I've had complete build failures and all x86_64 failures with i586 successes with a fresh untouched branched python3 after only adding a fedora conditional for BuildRequires first. I understand that the build service servers aren't 100% in fact the connection was down again a few moments ago and up again now, I don't know if this has any effect that can cause such build behaviour? It also builds differently on my local x86_64 11.4 system using rpmbuild. As it stands now, I've added a few build requirements which seemed to be missing and have experienced an i586 failure due to -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer being incompatible and redefining $RPM_OPT_FLAGS omitting -fomit-frame-pointer (without diving into gcc) can this cause problems? It looks like I've a successful build atm but only after changing a few build options. Here is the diff with comments: %build # use rpm_opt_flags +# Redefine opt flags due to error: -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible +export RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g" export OPT="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" #export OPT="-O0 -g" @@ -201,10 +210,12 @@ --docdir=%{_docdir}/python \ --enable-ipv6 \ --with-fpectl \ - --enable-shared + --enable-shared \ + --with-cxx-main=%{_bindir}/c++ configure started asking for a c++ compiler LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \ - make %{?_smp_mflags} profile-opt + make %{?_smp_mflags} This is the change that had the most effect on the build succeeding. +# profile-opt %check # test_file fails in autobuild env - "stdin.seek(-1)" wrongly succeeds. probably an issue with autobuild's stdin @@ -244,10 +255,10 @@ # cleanup parts that don't belong for so in _md5 _sha1 _sha256 _sha512; do - rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/lib-dynload/$so.* + rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/lib-dynload/$so.* _md5 and _sha1 don't exist, I haven't checked the others but when I see things missing that existed before I get worried. done for dir in curses dbm sqlite3 tkinter; do - rm -r $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/$dir + rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sitedir}/$dir done # install site-specific tweaks @@ -277,7 +288,7 @@ # move idle config into /etc install -d -m 755 ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/idle3 -( +( cd ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{sitedir}/idlelib/ for file in *.def ; do mv $file ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/idle3/ I use kwrite for spec files and it saves in UTF8 also removes trailing white spaces. I would appreciate expert help with this after which python3-3.2 could hopefully be ready for tumbleweed, blender is about to be 2.57 RC1 and will be released in about a month, the current blender in 11.4 is beta plus svn and would have been newer if the switch to python 3.2 hadn't happened. I think blender is the main consumer of python3 along with a couple of gnome apps.

[opensuse-packaging] Zypper solutions for conflicts in OBS-generated package
by Sandro Andrade 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi there, I'm building a new branding package for kdebase4-workspace. Apparently I managed to get it built but when I ask zypper to install it I got a (obviously expected) conflict with kdebase4-workspace-branding-(openSUSE|upstream). The insteresting thing is zypper only provides one solution for the conflict: Solution 1: do not install kdebase4-workspace-branding-IFBa-1.1-4.1.x86_64 Instead of both "do not install branding-IFBa" and "deinstallation of kdebase4-workspace-branding-*" spec file: http://pastebin.com/pV9ngFYT build log: http://pastebin.com/b5uQ8kEf I've built a copy of kdebase4-openSUSE in my home OBS repository and the generated package is installed as expected (zypper presents both solutions) Any hint ?
