[opensuse-packaging] Ownership issues with /usr/share/licenses in SLE-12
by John Paul Adrian Glaubitz 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Hello! I'm trying to build python-pytest-relaxed for SLE-12 in backports which is required as a dependency for one of the tools we are using for the public cloud stuff. The build fails with RPM complaining about /usr/share/licenses being unowned: [ 4s] ... running 01-check-debuginfo [ 4s] ... testing for empty debuginfo packages [ 4s] ... running 02-check-gcc-output [ 4s] ... testing for serious compiler warnings [ 4s] (using /usr/lib/build/checks-data/check_gcc_output) [ 4s] (using /var/tmp/build-root/openSUSE_Backports_SLE-12-x86_64/.build.log) [ 4s] ... running 03-check-binary-kernel-log [ 4s] ... running 04-check-filelist [ 4s] ... checking filelist [ 4s] python-pytest-relaxed-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm: directories not owned by a package: [ 4s] - /usr/share/licenses [ 4s] python3-pytest-relaxed-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm: directories not owned by a package: [ 4s] - /usr/share/licenses [ 4s] [ 4s] suse-laptop failed "build python-pytest-relaxed.spec" at Fri Dec 15 13:35:27 UTC 2017. [ 4s] Normally, this issue is fixed by installing the package which install this directory into the chroot, either through a Preinstall directive in the project configuration or by adding the package in question to Build-Depends in the spec file. The directory /usr/share/licenses is provided by filesystem which I tried preinstalling through the aforementioned mechanisms. However, I still keep running into the ownership issue as shown above. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

[opensuse-packaging] Selecting GCC version
by Matthias Fehring 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

Hello, is there a simple way to force the GCC version used to build a package? openSUSE Leap 42.2 for example uses GCC 4.8 as default compiler, but also provides packages for GCC 5.3. Simply using BuildRequires gcc5 pulls gcc5 in but still uses gcc48 to build the package (especially in Build Service). So is there maybe some Buid Service or spec file switch (bcond) to select the used GCC version? Best greetings Matthias Fehring P.S. Not sure if it is a problem with my browser settings, but when I try to search lists.opensuse.org, it is not possible for me to limit the results to a specific list. Even if I set one, I get results from all lists, what makes searching almost impossible, because most results are commit messages. -- Das Gesetz hat zum Schneckengang verdorben, was Adlerflug geworden wäre.

[opensuse-packaging] Help: Build fails on Leap Builds
by Klaas Freitag 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Hi, can anybody help me to understand what is going wrong in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ocfreitag:branches:KDE:Extra/o… ? The Leap builds are failing because of a post build check complaining about duplicates: [ 174s] found conflict of owncloud-client-2.4.0-27.1.x86_64 with owncloud-client-doc-2.4.0-27.1.x86_64: [ 174s] - /usr/share/doc/packages/owncloud-client/html/advancedusage.html It complains about all files in the doc subfolder called 'html' which should be in the -doc subpackage, and only there. The main package owncloud-client should only contain a few doc files like README and such. In the Tumbleweed builds, this all works like expected, and the packages contain the right doc files. What is going on with the Leap builds? Thx, Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] nodejs2rpm
by Erico Mendonca 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

Hello all, I made a little tool to ease the packaging of nodejs extensions, much like py2pack and gem2rpm. It’s a python script that uses Jinja2 templates to download, analyze and produce properly filled SPECs for the nodejs modules. It should work fine for most extensions. Only the ones that require native compiling will require some manual editing. The package is located here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:emendonca/nodejs2rpm And the source code is on Github: https://github.com/doccaz/nodejs2rpm Could you guys take a look at it? Any suggestions are welcome. -- Erico Mendonça Dedicated Support Engineer SUSE

Hi, I've a package wxhexeditor which is failing due to python3 being pulled in to the build. What's the quickest way to find which package used for the build is suddenly pulling in python3.

[opensuse-packaging] Python Singespec: systemd unit file conflict
by Matwey V. Kornilov 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Hello, I am packaging an python application following Python Singlespec guide. In the application, there is a command line tool that is handled by update-alternatives to make it possible to use python2 or python3 version simultaneously. There is also systemd unit file that uses the command line tool to run some service daemon. And currently, systemd unit file leads to the conflict between python2-appname and python3-appname packages. What is the preferred way to resolve the conflict? I haven't heart about update alternatives applied to systemd units. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Proper way to set shebangs in singlespecs
by Luciano Santos 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hi openSUSE hackers, I have been looking for a way to properly set the right shebang in a python singlespec package. But without any lucky so far. The naughty package in question is python-gobject: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/GNOME:Next/python-gobject I did some try and error with %ifpython macro, which seems to be the usual way to make this right, but after toasting some kittens I stopped and realized this is not working. Have someone cross this path before? If someone have succeeded in such quest and could shed some light on this one for my curiosity's sake and the package's health as well, of course, I would be grateful. Looking forward for your thoughts, Luciano. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] How to remove a deprecated/EOL-ed package from openSUSE?
by Lee Duncan 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

Hi: I manage the "targetcli" and "lio-utils" packages in IBS and OBS. We have end-of-lifed targetcli in SLE 15, which will mean the same for Leap 15. I am aiming to do the same with lio-utils. They have both been replaced by targetcli-fb. How do I go about removing them? Or do I just leave them but not touch them, i.e. they are available but unsupported? -- Lee Duncan SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

We're waiting on RPM 4.14[1] and the new product builder to come online (DimStar already slapped me once for breaking Tumbleweed with rich deps before...). I'm working on making rust2rpm make openSUSE-friendly spec files (mainly add the boilerplate header, skip conversion of SPDX to Fedora license tags, generate changes file) so that crates can be easily packaged and shipped in the distribution. Right now, Fedora has well over 230 Rust crates packaged[2], and the packaging for them is pretty trivial[3]. We've also got a good handle on cargo integration, so crates function as if they're in a local cargo registry for things to depend on. * I'm not sure why openSUSE hasn't adopted the bundled() Provides thing across the board anyway. There are plenty of packages that ship vendored trees/libraries and no one knows what they are. In general, it's really not a bad idea to do that. In my opinion, it's irresponsible to not require what you bundle to be defined. Generally speaking, I think this is a solid idea, but I solidly do not believe we will be continuing the vendored crates practice for much longer in Rust.
