[opensuse-packaging] Django packaging
by aledr 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi list... Django[1], has some parallel versions running out there. It has 1.1.x and 1.2.x stable series and a new 1.3.x series soon. We have 1.2.x packaged as python-django in d:l:python but we need a decision for 1.3.x series. It will introduce some minor incompatible changes as you can see in the (in development) release notes here[2]. Shall we keep python-django (for 1.2) and create python-django13 or stick with only python-django?

[opensuse-packaging] Call for testers: SSE/MMX/SSSE3 powered zlib
by Cristian Rodríguez 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hi: Brave testers, will be cool if you can install an experimental/development version of zlib, that uses SSE/MMX/SSSE3 to improve the performance of the library from 2 to 6 times, depending what features your CPU support. (determined at runtime) If you want to contribute, add the following repository to zypper http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/elvigia:/zlib/openSUSE_11.4 and dup from it. (if 404, it hasnt published yet) It works just fine in two x86_64 machines I have used, but Im interested in getting feedback from 32 bit users,specially those running less than current CPUs. Finally please note that zlib is used by almost everything,either directly or indirectly and if something goes wrong your system will likely become unusable. Im looking forward to your feedback. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] upgrading nasm to 2.09.07
by Per Jessen 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Okay, I need help - I've made my way through Andreas' page: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/06/20/opensuse-factory-fixing-packages/ and I've built things locally, worked fine. Then I did "osc commit" etcetera, and I notice that it didn't work quite so well: osc results openSUSE_11.2 x86_64 failed openSUSE_11.2 i586 failed openSUSE_11.3 i586 failed openSUSE_11.3 x86_64 failed openSUSE_11.4 i586 failed openSUSE_11.4 x86_64 failed openSUSE_Factory i586 failed openSUSE_Factory x86_64 failed SLE_10 i586 failed SLE_10 x86_64 failed SLE_11_SP1 i586 failed SLE_11_SP1 x86_64 failed I checked the build log and found this: error: File /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/nasm-2.09.07.tar.bz2: No such file or directory nasm-2.09.07.tar.bz2 is the new tarball. What am I missing here? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Running mkinitrd in %unpost and %post
by Javier Llorente 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hello list-mates, Currently, if you uninstall bootsplash from your system, you'd see the boosplash image when you boot up/shutdown your computer. Is it a good idea to run mkinitrd in %postun so that you get no bootsplash image after uninstalling it? I think it makes sense. %postun %{insserv_cleanup} /sbin/mkinitrd_setup +if test -s /etc/sysconfig/bootloader ; then +/sbin/mkinitrd +fi Furthermore, some people have reported that they get no bootsplash after a KDE install from the 11.4 Net ISO. Besides this, I have added support for more resolutions. So, I was also thinking about running mkinitrd in % post to make sure they get a bootsplash image %post %{fillup_only -ns bootsplash branding-openSUSE } perl -pi -e 's/^(THEME=).*/$1"openSUSE"/' /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash +if test -s /etc/sysconfig/bootloader ; then +/sbin/mkinitrd +fi What I don't want is users suffering due to lots of mkinitrds. How probable would having updates/installs that run mknitrd several times be? Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-packaging] packaging policy on mysql database changes
by Ralf Lang 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi folks, is it valid for an OpenSUSE package to create or alter mysql databases during its installation / removal? I found no policy on that. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] upgrading nasm
by Per Jessen 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

(newbie alert) All I really want to do is apply a minor patch to nasm to make the preprocessor work for 64bit stack arguments too. However once I got started I noticed that the latest nasm stable is 2.09.07, whereas our current version is 2.07. I can easily upgrade it of course, but are there any other considerations I need to consider? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Looking for a home for a new package: dvtm
by R. Tyler Croy 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Howdy all, I've packaged up a little tool that I use at home called `dvtm` (I am not the original author): <http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/> In short, dvtm is a purely console-based tiling "window manager". Imagine a cross between GNU/screen and XMonad or dwm. I've currently got a package all set up here: <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=dvtm&project=home%3Aagentde…> I'm wondering what I can do to get this package included in a more mainstream repository, and which repository it would make sense to go in to? - R.

[opensuse-packaging] How to clone a project
by Ilya Chernykh 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi! I want to clone a project with some tens of packages. I also want that the branched project was updated from the source but certain changes applied. Can I quick and easy move all of packages from one project to another without manually entering each name? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
