[opensuse-packaging] Where to add the --add-missing option for automake? In configure.ac?
by David C. Rankin 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

All, I am working with the GEBC source and updating some of the autoconf/automake files. Generating the files, I need to run automake --add-missing after autoconf to generate the missing ./compile file. I'd like to simply move the --add-missing option into the configure.ac file (or similar) to avoid having the separate call to automake. Current the only automake call in configure.ac is: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gebc,1.07) Where can I add the option so that autoconf generates any of the missing files needed? The automake documentation describes AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR as being able to specify the default directory for the common files as described: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/automake-Invocation.… https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Optional.html#Option… But I'm still confused on whether and what I need to add to make this happen? (I'm in no way an autotools expert). Anybody see an easy fix here? -- David C.

[opensuse-packaging] update-alternatives and .desktop files
by cunix 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Hello, i'm trying [0] to convert the spec from [1] to allow having multiple packages of godot [2] with different versions installed. The first solution implements parallel installations where the user can choose between multiple versions from his gui menu. These are not affected by the following issue. The second approach uses update-alternatives to manage different installed branches and the admin has to configure which godot version should (only) appear in the menu. Therefore .desktop files of different versions managed by update-alternatives are not installed directly in /usr/share/applications . Otherwise each installed entry will show up in the menu. Only one file exists at [3] and this is a link to [4], managed by update-alternatives. Problem is: If admin switches version of godot with update-alternatives, [3] is still the same link and no update of the desktop-files database cache seems to be triggered. Consequently the user will still see the previous .desktop file, what might become critical if different .desktop files of godot start to diverge between branches. Does someone has an idea how to solve this? Is there another packaged application with desktop files managed by update-alternatives I can look at? [0] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:cunix:godot/godot [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/games/godot [2] https://godotengine.org/ [3] /usr/share/applications/org.godotengine.Godot.desktop [4] /etc/alternatives/org.godotengine.Godot.desktop All the best, cunix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Orphaned files galore
by Adam Majer 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

Hi all, I've written a small utility that checks for files, symlinks and directories on your system that are installed in the system directories but are not owned by any package. https://github.com/AdamMajer/rpmorphan To compile this, all you need is rpm-devel and gcc. Running on my Leap 15.1 system, it found quite a number of symlinks and directories and files that are not owned by any package. For example, /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/config/images_sifr.zip is installed by not owned by any libreoffice packages. There are also number of files that install symlinks with update-alternatives but do not actually own these symlinks. The correct method is to install these as %ghost entries in the %files section. More interestingly, rpm itself doesn't own its own files either. /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/.rpm.lock /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Basenames /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Conflictname /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Dirnames /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Enhancename ... Overall, I've had 8592 orphaned files out of 231008 in my rpm database. This means close to one in 25 files is not tracked!

[opensuse-packaging] Could we remove scala package from ppc build ?
by Normand 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

ppc has a limited list of packages defined in Factory:PowerPC prjconf file (1) and scala package is in this list. I do not know the rational for presence of a package in this list. But looking at jobhistory it took hours to build scala for ppc ! compared to ppc64/ppc64le (2) This is increasing the process completion of Factory:PowerPC project. Could we remove scala package from ppc build ?

[opensuse-packaging] "osc build" improvements for KVM and for Qemu builds
by Adrian Schröter 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hey, I hope you find our new osc 0.167 release helpful (only in openSUSE:Tools project atm). It should help you a lot when building inside of KVM environments, or if you want to do a local build for arm/s390/ppc/riscv on your x86_64 workstation Find details here: https://openbuildservice.org/2019/12/05/osc-build-improvements/ Also CentOS 8 people should be happy to hear that local builds using rpms out of RedHat's rpm-md modules are working now. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter <adrian(a)suse.de> Build Infrastructure Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany (HRB 247165, AG München), Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org
