[opensuse-packaging] How to handle -doc packages?
by Ludwig Nussel 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

Hi, Some packages split out their man pages or other documentation into a sub package. More often than not that subpackage then is recommended. IOW installed by default which is undesirable. We also have a pattern for documenation though. So IMO it makes sense to link installing such documenation packages to the pattern. The question is how though. Assuming we have foo, foo-doc and patterns-base-documentation I see several ways: 1. pattern is in charge a. in patterns-base-documentation … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] factory_auto declines package with commented out patch
by Atri Bhattacharya 08 May '20

08 May '20

Hi, It seems factory_auto declines packages where a patch needing to be rebased is commented out from the sources entirely, yet this is the only way to avoid applying the patch when using `%autosetup`. See, for example, sr#773323 which has Patch12 marked as 'NEEDS-REBASE' and commented out. It has been duly declined. Is there any way, short of doing away with `%autosetup`, to get this through factory_auto? Thanks for any advice. [1] https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/773323 -- Atri … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] Require a specific major version go1.X
by Johannes Kastl 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, is there any documentation on how to exactly require a specific version of go1.X (use go1.10, not any later version? Use go1.12 or later?)? I am (once again) new to packaging golang packages, and have some that seem to require newer versions, e.g. go1.12 or go.14. Others like git-lfs seem to not build correctly unless I tell them to build with go1.10. Not sure if this really fixes the build problems, and as I am not a go expert I cannot tell if this idea is … [View More]

[opensuse-packaging] How to handle "unpackaged conflicts"?
by Mathias Homann 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hi guys, I'm trying to package the latest bleachbit version. It installs a file in /usr/share/metainfo. If I put "%dir /usr/share/metainfo" in my specfile, I get a massive number of "conflicts with" from rpm when I try to install it, when I don't put it in I get "unpackaged file" from osc build... What do I do?

[opensuse-packaging] license and subpackages
by Jordi Massaguer Pla 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

Hi, I have this package that has subpackages. What should I do with the license files? Should they be part of the main package? Should I copy them into every subpackage? Should I create a "-doc" subpackage and make it a "supplements" of all the other subpackages? thanks jordi -- Jordi Massaguer Pla Release Manager for SUSE CaaS Platform SUSE Linux https://www.suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] packaging python ctype-based bindings
by Matwey V. Kornilov 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hello, I am looking for example or guidelines on how to properly package python bindings which use ctype LoadLibrary interface. Let me recall, that there is no any glue binary shared object file, in this case. python just load the original library shared object in runtime (as you do with dlopen() in C language) and then represents it symbols as a python object. So, this kind of bindings is a pure python module (should be noarch?). Nevertheless, I still need to specify "Requires:" in the … [View More]
