We are in the process to prepare initial GCC 7 packages for Factory (without yet switching the default build compiler). There is a staging set up switching the default build compiler to GCC 7 at openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7. There are still numerous build failures due to (in)valid C++ code being rejected more pedantically or new warnings tripping over -Werror used in package builds. So this is a first heads-up for you in case you want to check the status of your package (or you received a bugzilla saying it won't build with GCC 7). One important thing with GCC 7 is that it no longer provides support for the Java language. For a transitional period "GCC Java" will continued to be provided by GCC 6 but that should be considered legacy. See the packaging documentation on how to build Java packages and consider dropping support for the GCJ Java "flavor" in other packages. Any help with reducing the build fails in openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7 is appreciated.

[opensuse-packaging] how to check if a rpm macro exists

by Olaf Hering

What is the best way to check if a rpm macro is defined? Many packages rely on macros which are provided by additional development packages. Thats fine during package build, but bad for bugfixing because one should not have each and every random devel package installed. Its usually enough to have a minimal installation with osc/quilt/vim to adjust packages, 'osc build' will install the required packages in the chroot. The way quilt setup *.spec works is that it expands all macros, and fails if they are not found. But processing just the %prep section usually requires no macros. Simple macros like kde4_runtime_requires can be written like %{?kde4_runtime_requires} to avoid the error. But this seems to fail for complex macros like suse_kernel_module_package. I tried a few combinations like %{?suse_kernel_module_package} or %if '%{?suse_kernel_module_package}' != '', but each one fails. How can I do quilt setup a KMP package if kernel-devel is not installed? Olaf

[opensuse-packaging] RPM: update directory to symlink

by Cor Blom

Hi, I have a package that at some stage replaces a directory with a symlink. RPM does not like that. See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022710 After some searching I have come up with the following solution, adding the following lines to the spec file: +%pre +# boo#1022710: fix upgrade from 13.2 to Leap +# liberation has become a symlink in Leap and RPM does not like to overwrite a directory with a symlink +if [ -d %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation ] && \ + ! [ -L %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation ]; then + rm -rf %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation + ln -s %{_datadir}/fonts/truetype/ %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation +fi + I have already prepared a SR: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/453602 Before accepting that SR I would like to ask you: is this solution correct? If not, what should I do then? Thanks, Cor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] not restarting the docker service on running zypper update?

by Jordi Massaguer Pla

Hi packagers, I am packaging docker and we have this problem that if a user runs an unattended update, docker gets updated and so restarted. However, this is causing downtime issues on their services which are inside containers. I know there is the "--skip-interactive" flag for zypper ... So my question is. Should we mark docker as "interactive" and if so, how do we do that? Should we not restart docker when installing? I think you should, but am I wrong? Are there other packages with similar problems? mariadb? thanks in advance jordi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] What's the easiest way to find python script dependencies?

by Dave Plater

[opensuse-packaging] rpmlint warning for no dependencies needed

by Dave Plater

Hi, I found a package that had been converted from wxWidgets-2.8 which needed manual requires, to wxWidgets3 which works with rpm automatic find requires and the manual requires macro failed but the package still built with an empty requires. see: openSUSE:Leap:42.2 wxhexeditor. IMHO there should at least be an rpmlint warning for a binary package that builds with no requires, this is possibly the cause of https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022460 . I wonder if there are anymore packages out there that also have this problem, does anyone know how to search for them?
