[opensuse-packaging] New macro to limit resources allocation per thread

by Tomas Chvatal

Hello all, For use in libreoffice, chromium and others I've created macro that should allow you to limit jobs based on some constraints you can set later on in the spec to avoid OOM crashes. The usage is pretty straight forward (Once it is accepted in Tumbleweed): === BuildRequires: memory-constraints %build # require 2GB mem per thread %limit_build -m 2000 make %{?_smp_mflags} ==== Here the _smp_mflags vaule for 8GB machine would be 4 while default is number of cores (lets say 16)... Both macros %jobs and %_smp_mflags are overriden as such the integration should be really painless if you need to do something like this. Tom

[opensuse-packaging] %license and build failures on SLE12

by Takashi Iwai

Hi, recently there have been a few updates of package to use %license for the license files. And this seems triggering the build failures for SLE12. How would we cure this? Fiddling with some prjconf stuff? thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] leap 15 maintenance

by Peter Czanik

Hi, I have a bug to fix both in 42.3 and 15 in the syslog-ng package: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1077975 I found the maintenance process for 42.3: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_maintenance How do I make the same for Leap 15?

[opensuse-packaging] Plan for python2-only packages

by Todd Rme

There are still a large number of packages in openSUSE:Factory that are python2-only. Some have not been touched upstream in years. We probably should start thinking about what to do with them. I think we should break python2-only packages into four categories: * Those that have python3 support that just hasn't been integrated should be updated. * Those that upstream has indicated has python3 support in the near-term roadmap should be kept as-is for now (or updated to the latest version). * Those that are python2-only and have not seen upstream activity since 2016 should be dropped from openSUSE:Factory and dropped from devel:languages:python after a two-week warning period. * All others, including backports packages, should be moved to a new subproject, devel:languages:python:legacy since they won't need many updates or rebuilds. This project should be built but not published. What does everyone think of this plan? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] vagrant-vim: correctly packaging vim stuff

by Johannes Kastl

Hi all, seems like something change in the vim packaging since the last submission of vagrant to Factory, because I got errors from the repo-checker: <pre> found conflict of vagrant-vim-2.0.2-7.3.noarch with vim-8.0.1568-4.1.x86_64: - /usr/share/vim/current [mode mismatch: d755 root:root, l777 root:root -> vim80] </pre> Seems to boil down to this line in vagrant's spec file: %{!?vim_data_dir:%global vim_data_dir /usr/share/vim/current/} /usr/share/vim/current is a link to /usr/share/vim/vim80 in Factory, so I could hardcode that path for Factory and leave it like it is on all other build targets. But I would rather like to avoid that and use the officially recommended way to do that, if there is one. Any ideas? vim-plugins uses this, is this recommended? %define vimplugin_dir %{_datadir}/vim/site https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Leap:15.0/vim-plugins… Kind Regards, Johannes

In fact most of them have already been automatically converted, they just need to be checked since the automatic conversion isn't perfect. But that assumes the package supports python 3 to begin with. There are lots of packages that don't support python 3 and almost certainly never will because they haven't been touched upstream in years. Those are what my current proposal focuses on. devel:languages:python:misc has packages that are not in or submitted to openSUSE:factory. Many of those are in pretty good shape, often just needing and update and a license macro in the files. Others, however, haven't been updated in years. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

That could involve simply enabling publishing on devel: languages:python:misc. I'm that case I would probably move all the unmaintained packages in dlp:misc to dlp:legacy first. -- 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 version of gpg does factory-auto use?

by Michal Srb

Hi, I have just got submission auto rejected because of failure to verify sources: > Visit https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/611168 > > State of request 611168 was changed by factory-auto: > review -> declined > > Comment: > Output of check script: > Source validator failed.

The algorithm in this case is number 22, which is EdDSA. It should be supported since gpg 2.1.0. We have 2.0.24 in Leap 42.3 and 2.2.7 in Factory. Which one is used by the factory-auto checker? Thanks, Michal Srb

[opensuse-packaging] I would like to have PostgREST packaged

by Bruno Friedmann

I would like to play with PostgREST software postgrest.org and https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest But I'm completely n00bs in term of ghc-* packaging or build. So yes I can fire search engine and like a bee try flower one by one, but perhaps around we have a smart soul that can drive me by giving an ordered list of howto, todo.
