[opensuse-packaging] Packaging Guideline enforcement
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Dear Factory contributors and packagers, As openSUSE 12.2 is frozen and Factory is 'open to go wild' again, I would like to announce that the packaging guidelines have some extensions (not really new) that will be stricter enforced than they used to be. Currently a common rule to be 'ignored' or packagers are not aware is around the topics of: - .Changes entries - Patches First, the .changes entry (rpm changelog) surves two purposes: - News for the user - History tracking of packaging changes (often referenced in bugs to verify if a user has the latest packaging bugfixeS). A simple "Update to version x.y.z" is, as before, not accepted. There should be some buzz around the update for the user; some major reasons to the upgrade should be listed Changes on the package itself should be mentioned in a way that any other contributor to the same package can follow traces of why something is the way it is. Commonly, Added (build)dependencies are interesting to be seen, special hacks to make something work in a particular way [..]: Always consider that package maintenance is a distributed task and various contributors need to be able to step up at will. Patches: The rules about patches are listed at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines . Most prominent is likely the mentioning of the patches life cycle, which forces you to mention additions and removals of patches in the changelog. As history shows, this can be helpful if a patch got removed, and later a regression is reported; finding out when a patch was removed can be crucial in reconstructing feature sets (including contacting the contributor that dropped it.. which is easily extracted from the .changes if listed) The main appeal is to the devel project maintainers / reviewers, to keep out for those rules, to live according to them, as it is frustrating for everybody if a package needs to be declined by the Factory Review team: - The dev prj maintainer is the one getting the 'decline' (as it was usually a forwarded request), which often leaves the 'fixing' to the devel project maintainers, where the 'originator' of the fix would have been willing to actually do that... And the Factory Review team also prefers to see complying submissions to having to reject SRs... reject is not fun for anybody! Looking forward to many more SRs to accept!

[opensuse-packaging] package looking for maintainer: the AT daemon
by Cristian Rodríguez 18 Jun '13

Hi: I will no longer maintain fix or otherwise care about the "at" daemon, starting now because I would rather devout my time testing and improving systemd.timer(5) So it is now up for grabs. that's all ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] ldconfig - I'm frustrated
by Greg Freemyer 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

All, I sent the httrack package to security a couple weeks ago. It builds, but with a few rpmlint issues. I thought I would clean up the one about the shared library needing to be split out to its own package. I've tried to do that in home:gregfreemyer:branches:security > httrack The diff is: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff?opackage=httrack&oproject=security… I've tried multiple ways to call ldconfig. But my build always fails with: [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhtsjava.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhttrack.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] This package contains a library and provides no %post scriptlet containing a [ 218s] call to ldconfig. The spec file currently has: === %post /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib64 %postun /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib64 === I've tried the basic versions as well. == %post -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig == %post /sbin/ldconfig %postun /sbin/ldconfig == Can anyone tell me what's going on?

[opensuse-packaging] Common LIsp packaging
by Alex Naumov 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hello everyone, as you know, we're recently formed a team that will take care of the packaging guidelines and introduced a small process to change them: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines_change_process I would like to start discussion about Common Lisp and create Lisp packaging related rules. The first version of it you can find there: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Lisp (please discuss here before edit something in wiki) I don't know how many Lisp developers we have, but I invite everybody to find and create most interesting, correct and optimal packaging rules for openSUSE distribution.

[opensuse-packaging] Packages looking for volunteers: festival, libgsasl
by Vincent Untz 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, I'm looking for new maintainers for these two packages: devel:libraries:c_c++/libgsasl This is the GNU SASL library. It's used by a few packages, is alive upstream with a nice maintainer. I only touched this package because another packages I was working on was using it, and inherited from maintenance this way. But I really don't look at it, so I feel it could do with more love. hardware/festival This is a speech synthesis system. I'm not quite sure how much it's still used; it used to be a dependency for GNOME accessibility (which is why I somehow became maintainer, I guess), but it's not used there anymore. I'm happy to give magical powers to anyone willing to take over those packages :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Stopping the new build queue for a repo
by Ralf Lang 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi, I know this is more of an obs question than a packaging question. Say I know I released a buggy package in a big and busy repo. A new version has been committed but it won't be published because the repo never comes to rest, is always getting commits before all builts affecting it are done and as I understand a repo will only publish when it's come to rest. Is there a way I could say "don't schedule new builds before the current queue is done and published" ? -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer Tel.: +49-170-6381563 Mail: lang(a)b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537

LO-3.5 is not longer supported upstream, so 3.6 is the way to go.

Most of the bugs should be the same also in the upstream build, so we prefer to report bugs into the upstream bugzilla.

[opensuse-packaging] How can I access BuildRequires for the Debian build process?

Hey, I am trying to build php5-pear-Horde_Autoloader for Debian 6. The build requiers are debian's pkg-php-tools, which I provide in server:php:applications. Sadly it gets unresolvable messages.
