[opensuse-packaging] Another cleanup round on build.opensuse.org
by Adrian Schröter 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi, Please excuse the cross post. I want to do another clean up round in OBS as done end of last year: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2010-11/msg00218.html Again repositories of projects which did not saw a change since quite some time will get removed. Unlike last year, only source changes are taken into account. This will affect 2.329 home projects and 74 other projects out of 20.846 projects. Please review the following list of projects and speak up when you don't want to get the repositories removed: non-home projects: http://www.suse.de/~adrian/OBS-remove-list-candidates home projects: http://www.suse.de/~adrian/OBS-remove-list-candidates-home The FAQ from last time: Why remove repos and not just disable the build ? This will free disk space on our servers and also on all mirrors. As result we can be mirrored more easily. Will any source get lost ? No. How to enable it again ? Just add the wanted repos again. There is a project which has not been touched, but the repos are still anyway important ! Just drop me a mail .... Why not drop the entire project now that we have an undelete function ? I thought about that, but currently the webui just says that the project does not exist. It is not able to show the former content and does not offer to undelete it, so that might be too agressive for now. Why not drop people a mail and ask them to remove it ? Way too many accounts have no valid email adress and past experience showed that people do often not react when they lost interesst in their project. My plan is to do the removal next week, except more discussion about this is needed. Just tell me your opinion, also when you support this ;) thanks adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] lyx in Publishing fails for SLE_11 i586
by Cor Blom 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi, LyX fails to build for SLE_11/i586. The reason is that two versions of texlive are mixed and thus there is a conflict. Texlive-bin-devel is from the project Publishing itself, but texlive-devel is taken from SLE_11 (although it is available in Publising). Result: file X from install of texlive-devel-2007-219.34.6.noarch conflicts with file from package texlive-bin-devel-2010-74.1.i586 Can someone look into this please? Or is there something I can do about it? I would be nice to have everything green. As far as I can see "gle-graphics" is the only other package in Publishing that is having this problem.

[opensuse-packaging] Packaging policy for systemd .unit file
by Frederic Crozat 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi all, as part of systemd integration in openSUSE, Michal suggested we might want to create our own openSUSE policy for packaging systemd .unit file, similar to Fedora policy http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd , moreover the scriptlets part : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd However, I'm not sure we should directly add those direct call to systemctl in %post but instead, use some macros, similar to the one we have for sysvinit and / or update those macros to be systemd compliant : %stop_on_removal / %insserv_force_if_yast / %{fillup_only} / % restart_on_update / etc.. Opinions ? -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat(a)suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

We don't delete projects at all. Just the repos of them. And no, just the listed projects will be affected. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] nothing provides python-gobject2 >= 2.21.3 needed by <packagename> in factory
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hello, It looks like a large amount of these messages "nothing provides python-gobject2 >= 2.21.3 needed by <packagename>" listed at [1] [1] https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?blocked=0&building=0&dispatching… In the message python-gobject2 is common to alot of the unresolvable items, can it be fixed ?. I was unsure if it belonged to factory or packaging so I sent it to both.

[opensuse-packaging] -no-copy-dt-needed-entries status ?
by Cristian Rodríguez 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi: A while ago, we had a discussion http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.packaging/7514 about enabling --no-copy-dt-needed-entries by default in Factory that apparently fell through the cracks..was any decision made about this ? I strongly suggest we follow suit with other distros and enable it ;) Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] How to make custom policy configuration?
by Ilya Chernykh 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi! It seems that the polkit policy in Factory is no longer compatible with HAL which is essential for normal use of KDE3. Is it possible to enable a custom policy set in KDE3 repository without forking the polkit-default-priv package? That is with current Factory policy a KDE3 user can enable say, automatic mounting of removable media with the following command: sudo polkit-auth --user $USER --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable But this command is not suitable for autostart (because requires a root password) and also not suitable for install-time because it requires a username and cannot be used to enable the privilege for all users. It there another way of doing the same which is suitable for packaging and makes the process automatic? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
