[opensuse-packaging] CrossToolchain question
by Matwey V. Kornilov 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi, In CrossToolchain:avr, I see avr-gcc-* and cross-avr-gcc. What is the difference? What is correct naming? (I suppose the last one). What guidelines/rules should I follow to create CrossToolchain subproject for yet unsupported arch? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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 … [View More]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] python-gobject and python3-gobject
by Todd Rme 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Currently python-gobject in the devel:languages:python and python3-gobject in devel:languages:python3 are separated into two packages. However, python-gobject is linked to the version on openSUSE:Factory, which still has python 2 and python 3 spec files in one package. Its devel project is GNOME:Factory, which also still has both spec files. This is leading to frequency breakage in the devel:languages:python version, since it links to a package that has two spec files while it only has one. … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Another python related query
by Greg Freemyer 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Sascha, Since you're the python guru, I just noticed that you put python-scapy in D:L:P a few months ago and sent it to factory. The D:L:P version has a tarball version of "latest" which could mean anything. The specfile says 2.1.0 That's great, except scapy is also in security and it's version 2.2.0 there. I'm not positive security:scapy is the same thing as D:L:P:python-scapy, but the description of both is the sames o it sure looks like it. Seems like a D:L:P python-scapy should be … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Need some help/advise for python packaging
by Robert Schweikert 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi, I need to package gcutil and gsutil, starting with gcutil (https://code.google.com/p/google-compute-engine-tools/ , https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/gcutil/#install) For better or worse the guys at Google decided not to create a setup.py file and assume that everything they need is installed in the location where the main "executable" is installed. That's not very nice of course from a packaging perspective as I think their modules should end up in site-packages and the … [View More]
