[opensuse-packaging] openSUSE:Factory:Staging:boost
by Stephan Kulow 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, The latest boost update (1.53) is breaking at least libzypp and libyui. If someone could have a look and fix those cases, we can have a new boost in factory again, so far it is kept in quarantine. Greetings, Stephan -- Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do.

[opensuse-packaging] Bash completion scripts without .sh suffix
by Andrey Borzenkov 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Apparently on openSUSE /etc/bash.bashrc sources only completion scripts with .sh suffix. It is fine but some packages install them without suffix (I wondered why completions were missing). Does it warrant rpmlint check? On a related note, some completions use "have" function to check for command existence. Seems it was introduced in Debian. Would it make sense to add this to /etc/bash.bashrc to avoid need to patch every program? This comes unnoticed currently because two completions on my … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Packaging process issue: Package is out, broken
by Rajko 07 Apr '13

07 Apr '13

Lars Vogdt mentioned some of his review criteria in a: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2013-04/msg00091.html This reminded me that review process has too weak, or even missing, actual feedback from users of packaged software. The reason to think like that are titles that came out without being able to perform basic task they are designed for [1]. In effect we can't prevent situation where package that works for distros with different library version, but not with openSUSE, is … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Issues trying to create a -doc sub-package
by Greg Freemyer 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

All, I don't know why, but I've struggled getting a doc file created that actually contains the files in it I have listed. My project is home:gregfreemyer:Tools-for-forensic-boot-cd > libpff Right now my specfile is dieing when I'm just trying to copy the doc files to the %_docdir folder tree. Here's my snippet: install -d -m 644 "%{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name}-doc" install -m 644 -t "%{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name}-doc" %{SOURCE1} %{SOURCE2} %{SOURCE3} %{SOURCE4} I've tried multiple … [View More]variations of the above with no luck. (see below error). I've added ls calls to verify everything looks good and I don't see what the issue is: ls -l %{SOURCE1} %{SOURCE2} %{SOURCE3} %{SOURCE4} install -d -m 644 "%{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name}-doc" ls -ld "%{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name}-doc" install -m 644 -t "%{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name}-doc" %{SOURCE1} %{SOURCE2} %{SOURCE3} %{SOURCE4} The output from the above is: =============== [ 274s] + ls -l /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/MAPI_definitions.pdf /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/PFF_Forensics_-_analyzing_the_horrible_reference_file_format.pdf /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/PFF_forensics_-_e-mail_and_appoinment_falsification_analysis.pdf '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Personal_Folder_File_(PFF)_format.pdf' [ 274s] -rw-r--r-- 1 abuild abuild 862433 Apr 1 17:03 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/MAPI_definitions.pdf [ 274s] -rw-r--r-- 1 abuild abuild 220508 Apr 1 17:03 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/PFF_Forensics_-_analyzing_the_horrible_reference_file_format.pdf [ 274s] -rw-r--r-- 1 abuild abuild 159667 Apr 1 17:03 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/PFF_forensics_-_e-mail_and_appoinment_falsification_analysis.pdf [ 274s] -rw-r--r-- 1 abuild abuild 386190 Apr 1 17:03 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Personal_Folder_File_(PFF)_format.pdf [ 274s] + install -d -m 644 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc [ 274s] + ls -ld /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc [ 274s] drw-r--r-- 2 abuild abuild 4096 Apr 1 19:12 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc [ 274s] + install -m 644 -t /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/MAPI_definitions.pdf /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/PFF_Forensics_-_analyzing_the_horrible_reference_file_format.pdf /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/PFF_forensics_-_e-mail_and_appoinment_falsification_analysis.pdf '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Personal_Folder_File_(PFF)_format.pdf' [ 274s] install: cannot stat '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc/MAPI_definitions.pdf': Permission denied [ 274s] install: cannot stat '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc/PFF_Forensics_-_analyzing_the_horrible_reference_file_format.pdf': Permission denied [ 274s] install: cannot stat '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc/PFF_forensics_-_e-mail_and_appoinment_falsification_analysis.pdf': Permission denied [ 274s] install: cannot stat '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libpff-0.0.0~20120802-9.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/libpff-doc/Personal_Folder_File_(PFF)_format.pdf': Permission denied [ 274s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.sYmziu (%install) [ 274s] ================= Greg Freemyer Chief Technology Officer Intelligent Avatar Corporation (678) 653-4860 Greg.Freemyer(a)gmail.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer CNN/TruTV Aired Forensic Imaging Demo - http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/23/how-computer-evidence-gets-retrie… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org [View Less]

[opensuse-packaging] Proper dev project for a small collection of C utility libs with python bindings
by Greg Freemyer 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

All, I'm about to submit 6 new small packages: libevt, libevtx, libregf, libmsiecf, liblnk, libvshadow. My basic question is what devel project I should send these to and if I should leave them as 6 discrete projects, or maybe try to combine them somehow. I've thought about just pushing all 6 to devel:libraries If that is a good choice let me know. == details All of them are from the same upstream author and have the same structure, all hosted at the same place etc. The specfiles are … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Drop crosscrash package
by Petr Tesarik 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi all, let me request dropping the crosscrash package. This package was originally written by Bernhard Walle, most likely as a SLES project. Bernhard was later laid off during the "big SUSE layoff", and I took over the maintainership of the whole kernel dump infrastructure. However, the crosscrash package has never reached maturity (the original goal was only partly met), it wasn't even publicly announced in the crash development list, let alone building its own community. Unsurprisingly, … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] texlive packaging
by Joseph Comfort 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

I sent this message to the opensuse list, but the packaging list may be better. I am updating (fresh install) to v12.3. It looks very good so far. However, I am very unhappy with the new texlive packaging. Several reasons. * Very complex and confusing. It is very, very difficult to find out what collections/schemes are needed to get a particular latex package. * Each package has a rpm overhead; it must be downloaded separately; it must be installed separately (whether in a … [View More]
