[opensuse-packaging] Packaging PHP: composer slowly kills PEAR as a base
by Ralf Lang 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi folks, recently, a lot of PHP packages have been either converted from PEAR format to composer or offered in both format. Some new software has been composer-only right from the start. As far as I know, we only have tools for automatically dealing with PEAR format packages. This is going to get worse as the most widely used 3rd party pear server software, pirum, has been deprecated in favor of composer. This renders more and more pear based installations useless. http://pirum.sensiolabs.org/ https://twitter.com/fabpot/status/434256189258735616 Do you know how other distributions handle this? Is there any effort for (semi)automatic composer->rpm conversion tools? -- 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

[opensuse-packaging] Python package and .po files
by jcsl 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi. The Solaar package is in several repositories, but none of them install the translations files. I've branched the package to try to build it with the translations but if I do what I have done with other packages, use the %lang_package macro and add %files lang -f %{name}.lang in the spec file, it doesn't work. I get this: find: '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/solaar-0.9.2-22.1.x86_64/usr/share/locale/': No such file or directory find: '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/solaar-0.9.2-22.1.x86_64/usr/share/help/': No such file or directory No translations found for solaar in /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/solaar-0.9.2-22.1.x86_64 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.GyVbWN (%install) I have no clue on how to fix this. Any hints? I've tried copying the .po files to the locale dir and it doesn't work. I'm making the translation for my languaje and I'd like it to be included in the package.

[opensuse-packaging] Is it ok to submit an updated package with a known bug?
by jcsl 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi. I've updated the package FBReader, but now it crashes when you click Read book in the Library. I've reported the bug upstream https://github.com/geometer/FBReader/issues/254 but I don't know if I should submit the package or not.

[opensuse-packaging] Get the SONAME of a library "before" it is built
by jcsl 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi. First of all, I'm having problems with this particular list because I don't receive the answers in my mail account, so I cannot answer to anybody that is trying to help me. I've unsubscribed and subscribed again to see if it works now. Sorry for the inconveniences. In this answer to a previous question I did, http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2014-05/msg00032.html I was said how to get the SONAME of a library, but how do you know it "before" the library is built? I mean, if I don't have that library installed and the package doesn't build so I can install the library and get it, I cannot run the suggested commands (readelf or objdump) to get the SONAME. So, how do you get the SONAME? I've read the page http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy but I can't see the answer to my question there (I may have overlooked it because my English is quite bad).

Thank you for your answer Yamaban. I'll try what you suggest, but I still have a doubt: where does the SONAME comes from? Is it the number that appears after libname.so (0.99 from libzlui.so.0.99 in this case)?

[opensuse-packaging] Request for Feedback: Packaging some applications, that might be interesting for factory
by Johannes Kastl 26 May '14

26 May '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, in my home-project (home:ojkastl_buildservice) I updated and created some packages, that might be interesting for factory. At least I wanted to try them, so I thought I'd dive into packaging on obs. I tried to follow the fantastic build documentation and the guidelines, but I bet there are tons of errors in the specs. I would kindly ask for feedback, so if anybody wants to have a look that would be nice. With the exception of docker for 13.1 they all are correctly built at the moment, and the ones I tried do work. #### rdfind ### rdfind is a new package, its a tool to find duplicate files and sym/hardlink them to save disk space. Small and nice. ### keepassx ### keepassx is a password safe. I use the older version 0.4.3 as the database format changed with version 2.x, and most android implementations can't read the newer format. And the newer one is still alpha... ### seafile & seafile-client ### I updated the seafile-packages and related tools (ccnet, libsearpc) to the newest 3.0.3 release, and got them to build. I have not tested them, but I plan to do that soon. I also want to ask upstream if they would like to use the obs to build packages, like owncloud does in ISV:... ### dirvish ### dirvish is a nice backup-by-rsync solution, which has not been developed any more upstream, basically because it seems complete and mostly bug-free. I use it a lot and just linked the package. The rest is just newer versions that I wanted to install on my not-Tumbleweed machines, so I added them to have them at hand without pulling in too much new stuff from other repos. I am looking forward to any comments and hints and thank you in advance. If someone is interested in taking maintainership I wont object, though ;-) Recommendations for devel projects where they might fit in are also very welcome. ;-) Regards, Johannes - -- Carpe diem - Seize the day.

[opensuse-packaging] /var/run is a symlink now
by Stephan Kulow 25 May '14

25 May '14

Hi, The filesystem package was changed to provide /var/run only as a symlink to /run instead of doing two mounts of the same file system. This has one (and only one AFAICS) consequence: %ghost entries in packages need to move to /run - as packaging behind symlinks is forbidden by policy. In doubt you can easily remove this %ghost entry - their only use case is reporting something for rpm -qf, which is of doubtful use as most packages create a directory with their name and leave the content unreported for -qf. All other uses of /var/run will continue to work, so don't touch them unless you have a very good reason to do so.

[opensuse-packaging] Need help updating FBReader package:
by jcsl 24 May '14

24 May '14

Hi. I'm trying to update the package FBReader but I have the following error: (none): E: badness 10000 exceeds threshold 1000, aborting. zlibrary-ui-qt.x86_64: E: shlib-policy-name-error (Badness: 10000) libzlui0_99 Your package contains a single shared library but is not named after its SONAME. and the following warning: zlibrary.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-missing-suffix Your package containing shared libraries does not end in a digit and should probably be split. The log file is at https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:jcsl:test/fbreader/o… I have read openSUSE:Shared library packaging policy but I still don't understand how to fix this. Where do I get the soname from? Where do I have to put it in the spec file? I've cleaned the spec file and fixed it as much as I'm able to, but this is out of my range. If someone is kind enough to paste the spec file somewhere, with comments, or explain in simple terms how to fix this thing, I will update the wiki page to help others if they have this problem. If it's not asking too much, I also like to know if I put the files in the right packages. The knowledge adquired with this will help me to build better packages. Thanks in advance.
