[opensuse-packaging] So I packaged up darcs; now what do I do with it?
by Damien Radtke 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Darcs is a version control system written in Haskell, and in order to learn more about packaging, I decided to try and package it up. As luck would have it, I now have a fully packaged version sitting in my home repository: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=darcs&project=home%3Akog13 It has build dependencies on packages in devel:languages:haskell and devel:languages:haskell:next, but the program itself can be used for more than Haskell development. So my question comes in several parts: 1) Where would the ideal place to submit this package be? Is it too late to get it in one of the default repos for 12.2, or would Packman be better? 2) Am I correct in thinking that the repos holding build dependencies (in this case, the haskell development repos) aren't necessary to be subscribed to when a user installs it? 3) What are some things to keep in mind when trying to submit new packages to a repository? I'm pretty new at this, so any help or advice is welcome.

[opensuse-packaging] To %make_install or to %makeinstall (spec-cleaner)
by Joop Boonen 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hi all, I have been using spec cleaner for while. What I notice it that it uses macro %make_install instead of %makeinstall. Both macros are OK for openSUSE but the first one breaks the build for SLE. <quote> + %make_install /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59594: line 45: fg: no job control </quote> I wonder if this should be fixed, in either spec-cleaner (use%makeinstall in stead of %make_install) or in the buildserver (add macro %make_install for SLE)? Regards, Joop.

[opensuse-packaging] OCaml help please
by Robert Schweikert 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Probably have mostly the same people on the obs list and the packaging list, but never the less I will try my luck here as well. I have a couple of requests/questions in "cleaning up" OCaml related packages and a problem. 1.) Since we have top level devel:languages:ocaml project can we please move everything that is ocaml related and maintained devel:languages:misc into the ocaml project? 2.) Do we have anyone that is really interested in OCaml or do we just have what we have because other projects/packages depend on the few packages we do have? in d:l:ocaml the ocaml package is a link to the package in Factory. The devel project for factory is d:l:misc. Because of local mods in d:l:ocaml the link is busted due to merge conflicts. This breaks other packages in d:l:ocaml. I have no idea how to fix this as every time I try to touch any of these packages to get something fixed I get a stupid: buildinfo is broken... it says: type of message. This is of course complete crap as it prevents a person trying to fix something from fixing it. In addition to the gripes above I have a problem that I am stuck on and could also use some help with. I am trying to build ocamlnet which depends on pcre. The build process failes with this error: ocamlfind ocamlc -g -I ../../src/netstring -package "unix" -custom -o ocamlrpcgen -package unix,netstring \ rpc_generator.cma main.cmo -linkpkg /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre_stubs collect2: ld returned 1 exit status File "_none_", line 1, characters 0-1: Error: Error while building custom runtime system make[1]: *** [ocamlrpcgen] Error 2 Knowing nothing about OCaml build and link processes I can only infer things. Obviously the process calls ld to link a binary and passes -lpcre_stubs, this would require the presence of libpcre_stubs.so somewhere in the default search directories of ld. However, the package ocaml-pcre does not provide this, it provides a dllpcre_stubs.so file in a none-standard location (%{_libdir}/ocaml/stublibs). Should ocaml-pcre create and provide a link %{_libdir}/libpcre_stubs.so to {_libdir}/ocaml/stublibs/dllpcre_stubs.so, or maybe a link in %{_libdir}/ocaml/stublibs and then a -L argument on the link line? Or is there some trick that ocamlfind is supposed to play for me? Help is as always appreciated.

[opensuse-packaging] How to create an update request for 12.2
by Togan Muftuoglu 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi, I would like to create an update request for shorewall package which is at 4.5.5.1 for 12.2 but the latest release in factory is 4.5.6. The package should not breaking any other package as no other package depends on it. Of course the ending decision is the maintenance team but by looking to the osc commandline I should be using osc maintenancerequest security:netfilter shorewall openSUSE:12.2 Is this correct or do I need to use a different approach Thanks Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Texlive split breaks AppArmor build
by Christian Boltz 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hello, some days ago, Werner wrote about the split of the texlive package. This has some side effects - for example, it broke the build of the AppArmor package for factory :-( Package: home:cboltz apparmor Build log: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=appar… Some issues I noticed in the log (not sure if I catched all): [ 647s] kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 cmtt8 [ 648s] /usr/lib/mktex/mktexpk: line 118: mf: command not found ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ 648s] mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 600; ignoring mode.

[opensuse-packaging] Opinions about OBS notifications
by Christopher Hofmann 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi all, we are trying to find out whether the current notification system we are using in the OBS useful and fulfills the requirements of its users. So a loose collection of questions might be: Do you know the different ways of being notified (email, RSS, twitter)? Do you use other channels than email? Do you know the configuration interface https://hermes.opensuse.org/ ? Do you use it? means: did you ever tweak params there? Is it intuitive to use? Did you ever use the expert mode? Is the expert mode intuitive to use? Are you missing features? Is it working as you expected? (Except of things already known as bugs.) Other thoughts?

[opensuse-packaging] How to create a subdir in /usr/share/doc/packages/<package>
by Greg Freemyer 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

All, I want to add a couple dirs from the tarball to the docs section. I tried: %doc docs/* demos/* test/* No subfolders were created and I ended up with everything lumped in the /usr/share/doc/packages/<package> folder which I found confusing. So how do I get demos as an example as a sub-folder?
