Removing SLE 11 from devel:languages:python

by Todd Rme

I propose we remove the SLE 11 repository from devel:languages:python. Most spec files require special workaround to build at all with this target and it requires backporting a bunch of system-critical packages that no other release requires, and even then many packages fail to build. And the scheduler punishes the repo for having failures. The amount of effort needed to keep basic, key dependencies working is growing constantly. And these workarounds means that it will be essentially infeasible to support it in the upcoming single spec file system, which means most key packages will no longer be able to support it anyway. Anyone who really needs specific packages can always link to them and build them in their home repo. So I think we should go ahead and remove it. Once it is removed, packages that are updated can have the workarounds deleted -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

why are we signing RPMs

by Bernhard M. Wiedemann

Hi, when building RPMs in OBS, each of them is signed with a private key that is kept somewhere in the OBS infrastructure. But it occurred to me, that this might not actually be needed because we sign repository metadata using the same keys and that metadata contains hashes of files, so those are already protected against malicious modification. Are there tools, processes or people using those sigs on individual rpms? The background is, that when trying to reproduce a build to verify that it is bit-by-bit identical to what was published before, we can only compare parts of it, because the signature and its timestamp will always be different. We could try to strip such information that is known-to-vary but it also has some appeal to get completely identical results.

C99 keyword "restrict" in package for Leap 42.2 not recognized

by Thomas Wagner

Hi, I wanted to build gatling in obs.For Tumbleweed it builds. For Leap 42.1 and 42.2 I get errors like this [1]: [ 48s] dirfd.c:57:62: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before 'key' [ 48s] struct dircacheentry** hashtable_lookup(const char* restrict key,size_t hashval) { This leads to my conclusion that the C99 keyword restrict [2] is not recognized for Leap but for Tumbleweed. Is there a way to build C99 code for Leap? best regards Thomas [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:Aikhjarto:branches:h… [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrict -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

runc-1.0.0+git1111 is not seen as an update to runc-1.0.0+git22222

by Jordi Massaguer Pla

Hello packagers, we are facing an issue when updating /runc/. It happens that /docker/ requires /runc/, but requires a very specific git commit of it. Thus, when we packaged a previous version of /docker/ (1.12.1), we did packaged /runc/ as /runc-1.0.0+git22222/ (it was not 22222 but the commit, but this is better for explaining it, see below) Now, we packaged a new version of /docker/, which requires /runc/ to be commit 1111, thus we did /runc-1.0.0+git11111/ However, /zypper/ won't see /1.0.0+git11111/ as an update to /1.0.0+git22222/, but as a downgrade. So, how to fix this? We thought about a solution. Since it is the version required by /docker/, we could fix this by renaming /runc/ to /docker-runc/, and, instead of using /1.0.0+git11111/ as a version, use the /docker/ version (in this case, 1.12.3), thus our package will be /docker-runc-1.12.3/ or /runc-docker-1.12.3/ not sure what is semantically better .... Then, the questions are *1- Is this a good idea? Have in mind, this is for openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Factory and also for SLE-12* *2- Have you had a similar issue with another package? How did you overcame it?* *3- Do you have a better idea?* Here is a link to the bug: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1009961 regards Jordi Massaguer Pla

Is there a license checker tool available?

by Dave Plater

Hi, I used to be able to check packages licenses with a license checker tool, I think it was a part of the rpmdev-tools package, since updating from 12.1 to Leap:42.1 I can't seem to find it anymore. Is there a tool to check licenses in package sources available?

python single-spec progress, questions

by jan matejek

hello packagers, i'm happy to announce that i have a macroset that works pretty well, if i say so myself :) Have a look at the d:l:python:singlespec repository [1] and the github repo [2] for details. The gist of it: it is now very possible to build packages for both python 2 and python 3, using a pretty straightforward set of macros. See spec files in the linked repository, and documentation on github. So far this only reliably works on python 2 and 3. It can work with pypy too, but pypy is not building so I can't test against it. Now there is a number of remaining issues to be worked out, and I'd like your feedback on them: 1. Necessary changes to OBS configuration 2. Backwards compatibility 3. Transition to new macros 4. New policies for d:l:py 5. Naming scheme 1. Necessary changes to OBS configuration --- The macro set only works with the one particular repository, that has the macros in its prjconf. In particular, the %python_module macro is problematic, because it needs to be expanded *before* the build starts, by OBS. Usually, we would put the macro definitions inside /etc/rpm/macros.python, as a part of the python/python3/whichever package, but that won't work in this case. Before we can deploy these packages to Factory, either Factory's prjconf, or OBS global config, needs to include at least the %python_module macro. And if possible, I'd like to include all of them, because: 2. Backwards compatibility --- Basically, we would need to build for old distros using new macros. There's a number of options: a) macro definitions in OBS and everything will build everywhere b) macro definitions in python, everything will build with new enough version of python c) macro definitions in prjconf of particular projects (say d:l:py), only packages in those projects build. Personally, i'd go with (a). And if that's not possible, with (b) and (c) combined. The problem with anything other than (a) is that it is going to be difficult to write specs that work both with and without the macros. You could conditionally include the %python_packages macro, but you would have to shim all the others in every spec file, and that is going to be ugly. Which means that by using the new macros, we would be hard-forking the python packages from ALL currently released distributions, unless we could get the macro definitions into them. 3. Transition to new macros --- There is a script called 'process-spec.pl' in the github repo. I'm about to run it first against (some small subset of) python-* in d:l:py, then against python3-* in d:l:py3, and put the results in d:l:py:singlespec:staging. Then it will be necessary to review the packages and submit to d:l:py:singlespec. That's going to be a lot of work, and I would like to ask you to help with this. I'll put up a separate call for volunteers next week. In the meantime, feel free to grab the macro definitions from prjconf and play around. And if you want access rights to d:l:py:singlespec, just send a request. 4. New policies for d:l:py --- If the transition goes smoothly, I'd like to use the opportunity to clean out the devel:languages:python project. One, d:l:py is collecting applications that happen to be *written in* Python, but have nothing to do with python development, and should instead be placed in other topically appropriate projects. We've had some discussions about dependencies only present in d:l:py, but here's a policy proposal: If your package depends on d:l:py and is not appropriate for d:l:py, you can either push your dependencies to Factory, or link them to your topically appropriate project. Two, end-user applications should start to move to Python 3. This is already happening. The relevance here is that we can now build "dual-version" packages. This should be discouraged. There are packages where that is appropriate (pip, nose and similar), but most packages should only provide executables for python3. We have a great number of packages that act as modules (= dependencies for other packages) and also as command-line utilities. Policy proposal: Unless we actually need the executable for all versions of python, all executables should be %py3_only. Finally, three, d:l:py is collecting non-python dependencies of python modules. That should not be happening. Analogously to point one, policy proposal: If your package depends on something that is not appropriate for d:l:py, either get that dependency into Factory, or your package is also not appropriate for d:l:py. How about it? 5. Naming scheme --- Finally some bikeshedding: names of RPM macros for python-related things are inconsistent. We have %py_ver and %py_compile and %python_sitelib and %ifpython2 and %py2_only. I would like to keep "python" and "py" as *generic* versions of the macros, not specifically referring to a particular version or flavor of Python. So for every "py_" and "python_", equivalent "py2_" and "python2_" should be defined. This is partially true in the new macro set already. Another thing is with "short" and "long" versions. I would really prefer to use only one of them, and that's probably the short one. Keep %py_ver and %py2_ver, but make %py2_sitelib etc. The last thing is about executables for pypy. For instance, when installing pip for python2 and python3, you get pip-2.7 and pip-3.5. What should the pypy variant be called? Thoughts, questions, comments? thanks m.
