[opensuse-packaging] How to handle -doc packages?

by Ludwig Nussel

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 Recommends: foo-doc b. in patterns-base-documentation Recommends: foo-doc if foo 2. package is in charge a. in foo Recommends: foo-doc if patterns-base-documentation b. in foo-doc Supplements: packageand(foo:patterns-base-documentation) 1) pro: when looking at the pattern eg. in YaST one can actually see an overview of what documentation is available. con: pattern needs to be adjusted for every change in packaging. Extra step and easy to forget. 2) pro: packager can add, split, merge or drop packages any time con: package installation is a bit more black magic. The pattern leads to pulling in more packages than expected.

[opensuse-packaging] factory_auto declines package with commented out patch

by Atri Bhattacharya

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.

[opensuse-packaging] Require a specific major version go1.X

by Johannes Kastl

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 complete bogus. Nevertheless, I'd like to try out... ;-) This seems to work: BuildRequire: go < 1.13 BuildRequire: go >= 1.12 This does not: BuildRequire: go1.12 Nope: BuildRequire: go = 1.12 (as the available version is 1.12.9 or something like that) Seems like this would be a useful information to add to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Go (which I will update once I find out how to do that).

[opensuse-packaging] How to handle "unpackaged conflicts"?

by Mathias Homann

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

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

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 corresponding spec file, since missed original library will lead to some exception during the python module loading making the module installation unusable. The question is how to specify required SONAME correctly in this case taking into account ABI compatibility. -- With best regards, Matwey V.
