[opensuse-packaging] Python 2 and 3 in single specfile
by Jan Matějek 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Fellow packagers, after some discussions in our team, we figured that it would be neat if we could build python modules for Python 2 and 3 from a single spec file. Now that a great deal of python modules work with both pythons, this makes a lot of sense. A good deal of work can be done by RPM macros. Then we could even seamlessly start building modules for PyPy, Jython and other pythons. A sample specfile, and the corresponding set of RPM macros, is attached. As you can see, the appropriate … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] systemd service presets: branding files or packages?
by Stanislav Brabec 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

I would like to open a discussion about use of systemd presets while packaging. Systemd preset files are preferred way how packages set the default state of services. Preset files are located in /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset directory. %service_add_post is aware of presets, and if the package adds systemd service together with presets, %service_add_post performs one-time set to the preset default state. Current policy is simple: All presets belongs to: systemd-presets-branding-{product} /usr/… [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] need help writing specfile for OBS
by Steffen Sledz 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

I hope i'm on the right ML with my problem. Please forgive me if not. I need to write a specfile for use with openSUSE Build Service and have problems with the source fetching and versioning part. The sources for the project are hosted at GitHub and i like to build a snapshot from the HEAD of the master branch. So the package version should contain a (generated) numerical part which increments on each build and the (short) hash of the latest commit. I believe that the tar_scm, set_version … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] A few failures of ruby packages in Tumbleweed
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Dear Ruby specialists, For a while already, a few ruby packages in Factory/Tumbleweed are not able to build (generally due to some packages changing to 'new' packaging style, but not others). The current list of packages is: * rubygem-locale_rails * rubygem-owncloud-admin * rubygem-xmlhash All of them being unresolvable. not directly a ruby build failure, but still related: puppet fails to resolve with: have choice for rubygem(ruby:2.1.0:json_pure) >= 0 needed by rubygem-hiera: ruby2.1-… [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] new bot reviewing maintenance submission
by Ludwig Nussel 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi, Released distributions like openSUSE 13.2 do not have devel projects. Therefore the process used for Factory where any submission has to pass by the actual package maintainers does not work. This has caused some surprises in the past. Now we have a new review bot meant to avoid non-maintainer submissions. The bot is now automatically added as reviewer for maintenance requests. It checks whether the package was submitted by someone who is maintainer of the Factory package. If the request … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] How do I build the -32bit variant of a package using osc build?
by Robert Munteanu 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi, I'm trying to rebuild wine with a patch applied on top. I've updated the spec file and rebuilt the rpm, both for x86_64 and i586, but I did not get an -32bit RPM. In the OBS repositories page [1] I see that the -32bit RPM is located in the i586 repo, but I'm not sure how it's built. I know I can branch the project and built it with the patch I need on OBS, but it is slow and wasteful to do that just to build a patch. Thanks, Robert [1]: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/… [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Are bashisms in RPM scriptlets allowed?
by Johannes Meixner 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, are bashisms in RPM scriptlets allowed? Up to now I ignorantly assumed that bash is used for RPM scriptlets so that bashisms in RPM scriptlets "just work". But I got https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/260498 By Googling for "bash rpm scriptlet site:opensuse.org" I did not find an authoritative answer. In particular neither https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_scriptlet_snippets nor https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Specfile_guidelines helps. I found http://lists.… [View More]
