[opensuse-packaging] Required libs: gnome-vfs2 and libfam
by Karl Eichwalder 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

There was a strange bug about missing graphics in our docs (bnc#718743). It turned out inkscape was not able to convert SVGs to PNGs because gnome-vfs2 lacked libfam. After adding "BuildRequires: fam" it worked fine. Is this the proper fix? Why is this needed? "rpm -q --requires gnome-vfs2" lists libfam.so.0()(64bit), thus I'd expect that libfam would get installed automatically? -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] hunspell and mythes in lyx
by Cor Blom 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hi, In the lyx package I specify the paths for the myspell dictionaries and the mythes thesaurus files, so that spellingcontrol and thesaurus is working out of the box without the need for the user to set the right paths, but this is only usefull when there are dictionaries and thesaurus files installed. Installation of lyx does not trigger this at the moment. Using lyx I never noticed this, because I have libreoffice installed, and thus the spellingdictionary and thesaurus file for my language. My question: what do I add to the spec file to trigger the installation of the myspell dictionary and libreoffice-thesaurus in the right language?

[opensuse-packaging] TeXmacs build failed: fatal error: guile/gh.h: No such file or directory
by Sascha Manns 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hello Mates, yesterday i've updated TeXmacs to the present version. Now it builds for 11.3 and 11.4, but not for Factory. It gives me: In file included from Guile/Glue/glue.hpp:19:0, from ./Guile/Scheme/evaluate.cpp:17: Guile/guile.hpp:54:22: fatal error: guile/gh.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. The full bl can viewed there: http://bit.ly/qAijYd As i'm understanding it needs guile, but guile is included in Factory and it builds. Maybe anyone has an Idea?

[opensuse-packaging] Why has the Banshee/SLE_11_SP1 repository been removed?
by Manfred Hollstein 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi there, - dunno if this is the right forum for such requests - if not, please suggest a different/the right one ;-) - can the Banshee/SLE_11_SP1 repo be re-established please? This application is really superior to the other potential candidates (which are mostly also not supported anymore). TIA, cheers. l8er manfred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Specfile Guidelines sweep over Factory
by Jan Engelhardt 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

vuntz mentioned it might be good to inform people, though I doubt anyone is going to read this.. As you may have noticed I am going through all factory packages to implement a few of the specfile guidelines[1] in semi-automated fashion, among them the following subtasks: [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Specfile_guidelines automated: - removal of '# norootforbuild' - removal of 'AutoReqProv: on' since this is default anyway manual: - removal of Authors list, no longer desired in factory - removal of %clean section, no longer required - removal of rm -Rf %buildroot in %install when spotted, [1] - changing %{?%jobs:-j%jobs} to %_smp_mflags, [1] - adding %{?_smp_mflags} whereever there is none, or - tagging places more explicitly where parallel build does not work by utilizing the grepable string "-j1" plus a comment if none exists - replacing CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure --bindir=%_bindir --infodir=%_infodir ... (and similar) by %configure [shorter] - shlib policy where it seems quick - killing old %changelog (because it's in .changes already) Keep in mind: - obs-service-format_spec_file has been configured for a handful of projects and is adding more line noise besides my actual changes So far. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Notes from packaging guidelines BoF at openSUSE Conference
by Vincent Untz 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hey, Here are some notes about the packaging guidelines BoF we had on Wednesday, at the openSUSE Conference. It'd be great to reflect what seems to have been agreed in our documentation. Any volunteer for that? Cheers, Vincent ===== Our packaging guidelines documentation - lots of discussion about the effort that was started a while ago to merge with Fedora - rough agreement that we should try to push the parts we both agree on (ie, most of the documentation) upstream, at rpm.org - needs to be discussed with Fedora Having a smaller set of groups - possibly use the same set as Fedora - improve spec-cleaner to do the automatic replacement - need to drop the groups view in the yast software installer Patch tags - long discussion about the merits of tags in the .spec file and inline description inside each patch - Recommendation (not enforced): use patch tags in .spec file as it makes things easier to review, and it's easier to jump in a package. However, in the end, it's up to the maintainer to choose the way he prefers - Rule: choose at least one of tags in .spec file or inline description, so that patches are described. - Rule that should be enforced: whatever patch guideline is used by a package, it should be applied consistently. This means: if you update a package using one approach, please use the same approach. Shared library packaging policy - we have a whitelist of packages that don't have to move to SLPP. That's blocking the enforcement of SLPP. - robjo will update the whitelist so that it tracks a list of packages/versions, instead of a list of packages; that means when a new version of a whitelisted package arrives, SLPP should be applied. - Reminder that it's wrong to obsolete an old version of the library: libfoo2 should not obsolete libfoo1. -- 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] Forcing dash in library package name
by Jan Engelhardt 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

In build.opensuse.org/home:jengelh:dev/gf2x, I have a new package gf2x, where I decided to call the shared library package "libgf2x-1" instead of "libgf2x1" for purposes of clarity. Do Factory maintainers concur with this stance? If so, the shlib-policy check of rpmlint may need to be relaxed to allow the extra dash when $pkgname =~ /\d\w$/ (I don't see it yet necessary for \d\w+). libgf2x-1.x86_64: E: shlib-policy-name-error (Badness: 10000) libgf2x1 Your package contains a single shared library but is not named after its SONAME. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] example or documentation related to integrating Systemd in spec files
by Togan Muftuoglu 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

Hi, Is there an example or documentation related to integrating Systemd in spec files showing how to install and activate service files if system has systemd enabled. Ideally I would like to support both systemd enabled and the traditional init system in the spec.
