[opensuse-packaging] Need gcc / makefile / autotools help with a new python/C package
by Greg Freemyer 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

All, As I've blasted across the universe, I'm trying to package a set of computer forensic apps. I'm tracking my progress here. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Digital_Forensics_/_Incident_Response The next one on my list is pyflag. I have a package in OBS: home:gregfreemyer:Tools-for-forensic-boot-cd > pyflag But the build is failing in the INSTALL section with: == gcc -shared -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I../../src/include -L -lpython2.7 -o pypacket.so pypacket.c .libs/pypacket.a -lpthread -ldl -lutil In file included from /usr/include/python2.7/Python.h:8:0, from ../../src/include/pypacket.h:4, from pypacket.c:8: /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h:1161:0: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined [enabled by default] /usr/include/features.h:215:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition pypacket.c:323:5: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] pypacket.c:323:5: warning: (near initialization for 'PyPacketType.tp_getattr') [enabled by default] /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /tmp/ccHOtZu6.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /tmp/ccHOtZu6.o: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status == I have unpacked the tarball and manually done "./configure; make; make install" and I get the same error. If I cd into "pyflag-0.87-pre1/src/lib" and then do a make pypacket.so (which seems to be the goal of the above gcc command), I get the exact same error. So I'm in the right place, but I don't know how to debug this any further. I've attached the Makefile from pyflag-0.87-pre1/src/lib folder. Can anyone help me with that? Thanks Greg

[opensuse-packaging] build-compare for KMP packages?
by Stefan Seyfried 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all, I'm trying to stop the daily virtualbox updates from the Virtualization repo (on every rebuild). One culprit is a "__DATE__, __TIME__" in VBoxSVC which I can patch out quite easily. Another one is: compare /.build.oldpackages/virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.1.8_k3.1.9_1.4-28.15.x86_64.rpm /home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.1.8_k3.1.9_1.4-28.16.x86_64.rpm --- /tmp/tmp.8NI4XILsY7 2012-02-19 18:57:32.776000001 +0000 +++ /tmp/tmp.KDp84V0Y4m 2012-02-19 18:57:32.804000001 +0000 @@ -9,16 +9,16 @@ (none) 4.9.1.2 x86_64-suse-linux cpio lzma 5 -/bin/sh nvr=virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.1.8_k3.1.9_1.4-28.15 +/bin/sh nvr=virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.1.8_k3.1.9_1.4-28.16 wm2=/usr/lib/module-init-tools/weak-modules2 if [ -x $wm2 ]; then /bin/bash -${-/e/} $wm2 --add-kmp $nvr fi This seems to come from one of those whacko KMP macros. Can we just ignore these in build-compare? If the only difference is the build counter, then ignore it?

[opensuse-packaging] Still a long way to go on PHP.
by Marguerite Su 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, all Yesterday I promise Ralf Lang <lang(a)b1-systems.de> that I would take care of long unmaintained package xinc. And I find there's still a long way to go on PHP. 1. we lack a wiki package. Portal:Packaging Packaging:PHP doesn't exist, and I have to refer to Fedora. to me, knowing nothing about PHP, I have to follow other packages' specfiles to find my way. a wiki page will help a lot. 2. we even lack a RPM Group named Development/Languages/PHP and many macros like %{__pear}, related rpmlint checks You can see /usr/lib/rpm/macro.php is nearly empty. macros.suse have no line of PHP. and rpmlint errors & warning seems ignore that series too. Hope this situation could change in the near future and some one developing it can see and fulfill our needs.

[opensuse-packaging] advice on packaging a static library
by Greg Freemyer 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

All, I'm trying to package guymager and libguytools. They work together and guymager buildrequires the library. libguytools is really just some /usr/include/libguytools/*.h files and a static library. That seems wrong to me, but its the way they have it broke up at sourceforge. I've got a package for libguytools in my home project. (home:gregfreemyer:Tools-for-forensic-boot-cd > libguytools ) Right now, the main libguytools package is empty and I've got 2 sub-packages: %files -n %{name}-devel %defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_includedir}/libguytools2/ %files -n %{name}-devel-static %defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_libdir}/libguytools.a Is this approach acceptable? I seriously doubt there is another user of the libguytools library floating around anywhere. Should I just combine this package with the guymager package somehow? I don't yet have a good guymager package at all. I'm starting with the library.

[opensuse-packaging] xinc package in s:p:a in bad shape - somebody take over?
by Ralf Lang 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi folks, Is somebody interested in taking care of the xinc php CI server? The current package in server:php:applications has a confusion mix of contradicting license tags (BSD vs LGPL, probably LGPL-2.1+), is rather old (2 years - it's not even offered on the current project pear server) and would probably not be accepted into factory as of now. It also has some patches which I cannot quickly evaluate and the .changes file is missing. Does anything depend on it? I don't think we should keep having it in the repo in its current form. -- 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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] How best to rename a package?
by Greg Freemyer 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Roman / All, I just noticed that logsurfer+ v1.7 in security was renamed by upstream to logsurfer v1.8. http://www.crypt.gen.nz/logsurfer/ Should logsurfer+ be updated to version 1.8, then a copypac done inside security, then logsurfer+ deleted. Would that preserve all the revision history? fyi: I'm not necessarily volunteering to do that. I'm more curious about the process of rename. Roman has recently done some work on logsurfer, so I hope/assume he will update it, especially since it doesn't currently build for factory.

[opensuse-packaging] Is python-tkinter hidden away somewhere?
by Greg Freemyer 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

All, I have a package that says it will leverage python-tkinter if its available. Per http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter it is a defacto standard for python GUI work. So I'm surprised it isn't already in OBS somewhere. fyi: when I test my little package, it is not kicking off a GUI. Just pure cli, so it's not finding it in the base python package.

[opensuse-packaging] new rpmlint check for insecure logrotate configs
by Ludwig Nussel 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hi, Logrotate 3.8 introduced stricter demands on the ownership of log directories. It refuses to rotate log files in directories that are writable by anyone other than root to avoid e.g. symlink tricks of a compromised account. The correct fix is to change the ownership of log _directories_ to root and also don't allow any group != 0 to write there. It's still ok for log _files_ to be owned and writable by some unprivileged user or group. Bad: drwxrwxr-x 2 foo bar /var/log/foo/ -rw-rw-r-- 2 foo bar /var/log/foo/foo.log Good: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root /var/log/foo/ -rw-rw-r-- 2 foo bar /var/log/foo/foo.log Alternatively if the package in question for whatever reason requires the log directory to be writable by unprivileged users logrotate now also supports a 'su' option. So I've introduced a new rpmlint check in Factory that checks for user owned log directories resp lack of the 'su' option. rpmlint now also complains if the log directory is not packaged as it obviously can't check the permissions then. So please fix your package if you see the 'logrotate-user-writable-log-dir' error in the build log as logrotate won't rotate logs for this package in the future. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org
